17s.. looks a bit smaller than what it is.. + fat tire causing more illusion.. (215/45). it used to look pretty big when i had 205/40s on em.

Hey does anyone know if 235/40/17 would fit on a size 7.5 rim width and would there be rubbing?

On an R56 they definitely fit. Mach V Dan is running that setup on a lowered MINI with no issues at all.

I'd likely have gone for that size, but it isn't offered with the tires I wanted. Also they're pretty heavy.
