Those of you who has the 25mm IPD front Swaybar, does the tires rub in the Swaybar when steering?

My IPD bars don't rub on my 225/50R17.
I had 16x7.5 with 225 tires....they rubbed at full lock. big whoop...
It was only at full lock and it wasn't awful.... It was just enough to take the pain off that spot on the bar.
It was worth it to me, for the bar not having paint in that one spot....
Yeah, I did. The car wasn't anywhere near as..."wallowy" (is that a word? **** yeah, it is....)
And given my car at the time was a 940 SE, it had the IRS rear, so I could only do the IPD sway up front, not the rear. Regardless, I was more than willing to deal with the minor interference at full lock, after the improvement in the driving experience 99.9% of the rest of time.
How wide are your rims and what offset?
My PROPUS wheels up front, 17 x 7.5, with 25mm wheel adapters and 225-45 R17 rubbed the IPD bar as well as the inner fenders, at full lock. My current 16 x 6.5 does not rub with 205-55 R16.
7.5. The offset is 38mm IIRC.
I use a 24 mm sway bar, suspension lowered 45 mm. and 17"x225/45.There is no problem at all with this setup at my Volvo 745-90.
But I guess it also depends on ET of the rims. I use 40 mm ET. and no spacers.
