Tire Size question

Featured Replies

I bought a set of lowering springs 30mm and have the chance to buy 4 new tires at a really good price, but they are 215/45/17 instead of the normal 205/50/17 vrs tire.

Question: Will they rub when the car is 30mm lower????

Any ideas?

Cheers

Nope wouldnt think so mate.

Couldn't find anything on it with search, any ideas what to search for?

Cheers for that though!

The chances of rubbing will be minimal/none. Most members go from 205/50/17 to 225/45/17 so 215/45/17 is kind of in the middle, the main difference will be the rolling radius changing which will affect your speedometer. There is a tyre size calculator on here which will tell you how far your speedo will be out.

Edit.

A quick search has brought these links up
