The 235/60/15's didn't rub until the 2" drop spindles. They do rub now, on severe dips in the road. They rub just inside the fender lip at top against the fender liner and the metal behind it.
Replaced the stock lower control arm bump stops and it didn't make a difference. Shimmed them up about 1 inch to see if they would even hit, and it didn't make a difference.
Since these are new tires, I've got about three options. Spring rubber in the front spring (might raise the front, which I don't want), sell the tires and get a smaller size, modify the inner fender. I'm leaning towards the third right now, because I like the way it handles and the rub isn't that severe.
Also dropped the rear 1.5" since that last pic.
I wouldn't recommend 235/60/15 on the front unless you are NOT dropping the front. That's when I ran into issues.
