I know some people have had rubbing issues when going to a 215 series tire. It sounds like if there is ANY rubbing to be had, it is at the rear tires only. Can someone please kind of point out to me where the rubbing may occur??

THANKS!

 

Assuming typical wheel offset, rubbing usually occurs at the rear wheel arches with that that size tire.

 

I have 215/45-17s mounted on 17" Kosei wheels and they do not rub at all. Note also that I have the 04 MCS sport package and its stock suspension.

Man, I didn't even take into account the offset of the wheel. The car sits 1" lower all around (with H-Sport springs). I picked up Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S tires. It's usually just me driving. I do have an occasional passenger. Hardly anyone EVER in the back. And I don't haul stuff. I just put the springs on last weekend as well so they could settle a bit more.

In all likelihood, can I expect my tires to rub? I'm scared.

 

I'll try and get the offset of the new wheels tonight or tomorrow
