I really spent my time grinding and fitting, grinding and fitting, so 100% of the center sits around the hub, I know exactally what you're saying. As to the front, I havent had a chance to pull a front wheel and check it, the back is fine, and the overall height is abot 1 1/2" less the the 215/70's, it does sit pretty far in, so I'm curious as well about the steering clearance. Hopefully we'll have some warm weather this weekend, so I can pull her out of the garage and pull a front wheel, I'll post an update. Thx for the kind words on the finished trunk, here's the post I left in the interior section.
