Ok, so after doing more research and looking at my buddy's 1LE with the same MRR017 wheels (he bought a set of MRR for street tires), I'm guessing because of the different brakes on the front of the 1LE that something is slightly different in size versus the non-1LE 4 piston brakes set up (perhaps rotor top hat thickness or something) because he doesn't have the front tire poke like I do. So with that being said, since I now have these larger wheels on my SS, I think I am going to forego lowering my car because I think I have a very strong likelihood of some tire rub on the fender, which I absolutely do not want... If I had my stock SS wheels on there it wouldn't be an issue, but when I went from 8.5" fronts to 10.0" fronts, the problem arose.
