I currently have 205/45/17 on my R90s and found a great deal on a set of 215/45/17... the question is will they fit or is it too much of a stretch?



feed back on what you guys and gals have or had on the R90s would be great

Thank you!!

Yes, the R90 is 7" wide and the 215/45R17 will fit nicely

For stock suspension you are fine with either size tire.

It fits the rim fine.

But 215/45-17 is likely heavier than 205/45-17 for the same model tire and it is taller than OEM tire diameter which means you do get a little speedo and odometer error.

If you do ever lower your suspension you will have less clearance since it is slightly wider and taller than stock.

What is your great deal tire?

Thanks so much for your help..
it was an online offer for discontinued yokohama tires for 25 bucks a tire... as I was checking out I discovered there was only one tire left.. therefore it wasnt worth it..
but extra info is never wasted.. so thanks again
