Any rubbing issues with 255-60-15 on wing car front parts?

I thought I had read somewhere they fit ok on normal B body but somebody had rub issues on the wing car front end parts.  I got 15 x 8 with 4" BS and before I can't get the size anymore I may go ahead and get the 255-60's for all around but wanted to check out the clearance part first since I don't have my bird front end completed yet to verify.  Anybody running this combo and BS to shed some experience with it?

No wing car here, but I have 255/60-15 on Mopar cop wheels and the only place they ever get close is my Firm Feel sway bar, a very light rub at full lock and bump.

My Daytona has 255/60/15's all the way around on 15x8s, again, all the way around...... I have no issue. The only issue I've ever had is heading into my driveway, with the wheels almost completely turned and it rubbed the front part of the fender ever so slightly. I have trained myself to exit at a straighter angle and all is fine. I would never change them out. They look too good tucked into those wheel wells..... Off the top of my bald head, I don't recall the inside negative offset. I don't believe it is custom..

245-60-15 on stock ralley wheels rub the framerails when turned all the way. Just enough to rub the paint off, no damage to the tires at all. They never touch the sheetmetal.
