Ok, i have searched and searched, but i have not found the exact answer that i seek.


does anyone have this combo:

215/45/17 +45et -17"x7"
and does it rub?

the tires are geforce KDW (tread pattern 1 - less aggressive looking)

basically that combo, will it rub. the offset is 45et. i see a lot of posts with people below 40et and rubbing but no one with this higher (tighter) offset?

thanks for the help!

215/40-17 +40 didn't rub...215/45-17 +45 doesn't rub...of course, my rear camber is at 1.6 which helps...

 

215/45-17 +45 will not rub even with 1.2 rear lowering...

although same tire size at +40 will rub.... (i know first hand!) max ive went with 215/45-17 would be +42

 

cool, so no rubbing. that is good. i may throw on some h-sport springs for a while and blow my stock struts out ... or coil overs i cannot decide.. so much $$$..

msfittoy - btw i have the exact same car as you. i am soon going to be your clone!!! (soon as i get a light bar) beware!

 

I have 225/45/17 tires...no rubbing (only when I hit dips at speed).

 

I have that exact setup and I get barely any rubbing. As stated above, only on large bumps, at speed, which I try not to do but have had 2 or 3 times that they snuck up on me. But day to day, normal conditions... none.

 

this car sees track and auto-x time also. any concerns?

let me clarify though, i have these tires on the car with stock suspension and i have no rubbing. i am meaning if *lowered*, is there any rubbing??

probably 1-1.5" lowered when all is said and done.

thanks
