My tire size is 225-70-15, they are the same tire rims i took off the car before putti g on the new AMD fenders
Are you sure that your original fenders weren't trimmed down or rolled/bent at the lower fender tips for clearance?
The tires that you're running are 1.3 inches taller than what the factory used. (26.1 inches vs 27.4 inches diameter)
The reason that I asked whether you had 15 x 7 or 15 x 6.5 inch rallyes is that the 15 x 7's add the width to the outside which makes it more likely to rub at the point you are describing (lower front) when using taller tires.
