Did the weights pop off the front? When you said the one set of wheels rubbed the caliper,which it shouldn't do,it made me wonder what shape the ball joints are in. I had a set of tires mounted on my '90 Blazer (12.50/33). They told me they wouldn't fit because the weights on the inside hit the tie rod end. Well,this was the third set installed the same size,so I knew that was BS. I had them jack it up and yep,the ball joints were worn out. So,I told them to mount them up and I'd bring them back for balancing after I replaced the ball joints in a day or two.
