[DeTomaso] Anyone using 245/40/17 Front Tires

I've had both Pirelli P-Zero 245/40x17 and now Khumo Ecsta XS 245/40x17
fronts.  The Pirellis would rub the inside rear of the wheel well when
cranked hard over to either side, but no problems other than that.  The
Khumos barely rub at all.

6328 already had the front fenders rolled (I believe they did this at the
factory to later cars).

I would like to hear from those who are running 245/40/17 tires on the front
of your unflared narrow bodied Pantera's. I know it is common to use a
235/40/17 tire, but the tire I want to use does not come in that size. If
you are using the 245, did you have to roll the front fender lips? Was there
any contact anywhere that required trimming or other persuations (hammering)
to make the tires fit? My car is lowered, and I am concerned about rubbing.
Please share your experiences. Thanks in advance.
