any black rim/tire deals going on? do 215's fit?

I need some black rims, and I think some tires for my 2007 MCS, it's got 17" runflats on it now, and I think I might ditch the runflats

anyone know of any good deals going on, before I place a order from tire rack for some black 17x7 ASA AR1 with some 205/45ZR17 Yokohama Parada's


anyone know what the wides I can fit on without rub? i'm probably going to go with coilovers for a drop later this year

Depending on how low you go, 215s should work. A common choice for our cars.

Some 215s rub less than others.

I ran Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 in 215 40 17 with no problems, even on the track. Recently replaced those with Goodrich G-Force Sports in the same size. I've had to cut back the insides of the plastic fender trim to keep those from rubbing, even with the stock sport suspension.
