Front wheels rub. :(

Too big a tire too little back space.
I would not drive it with those tires on it

IMHO

Nope. There are others here running that same exact combination.

Not to mention I run more tire than that, with the outside of the tire further out in the wheel well than that combination. Granted, I extended my fender to bumper supports to push the lower corner of the fender, but that shouldn't be an issue with these.

I upgraded the front to Dr. Diff stage 1 disc and went with a 245/45/17 on a 17x8 with 5.25 backspacing and the fronts rub the lower fender. I'm not sure what to do.

I've only been able to pull it out of the garage, but I have an appointment on Thursday for the alignment and to have the top put on. Not sure I feel ok driving it.

Here is a link to the wheels: Vision American Muscle 141 Legend 5 Series Black Wheels 141H7865GB19

Back fit perfect. EDIT: the car hasn't been aligned in any sense of the term, I literally just bolted everything together. Will the alignment change that?

You need to get the car aligned. The caster setting especially can change that clearance quite a bit, as well as the camber setting.

Do you have the lower fender to bumper support installed? Looks like not everything is fully assembled...
