offset37mm with 215-45-17??

I have 17x7 Sparco Assetto Gara offset 37mm with 205-45-17 tires.

And, i am planning to upgrade my tires to 215-45-17. But, i am little worry about if it is going to rubbing or not.

Is anyone has this same set and have or had any problems with it?

I talked to the Alex(Tire Rack), and he said that it might slightly rub.

But, I just want to hear opinions from people who had this same set before i make decision.

By the way, my car is not lowered and no spacers.

Thanks.

I went up a size like you are considering with my 18's. They called my cell # just to make sure before processing. I asked that they process the order just the same and the set up was perfect. But I appreciated their concerns.

As far as Tire Diameter size, use this site Tire size/diamter It will give your a good idea visually with dimentions. Diamter wise the difference is marginal.

You can use this as a guide for offset: off set calc If you are running stock wheels with a 48et. Going to 37 et is like adding a 10 mm spacer.

As far as offset goes. I ran 38et in my 1st Gen and had no issues. If you have 2nd Gen I would think you would actually have more clearance than I had.
