I want to get the TD PRO RACE 1 17x7 +45. Should get the 205/45/17's or 215/40/17 yoko avs? Will the wider tire rub? 10mm doesn't seem like much of a difference, but I want to be 100% certain that I won't have issues.

 

i'm sure you'll be fine.
there are a bunch of people who have fitted 215/40's.

 

That's what I have and like it. I may eventually lower it as well.

 

Whoops, 205/40/17's. But Gabe has the 215's and they look tough, and have no problems at all.

 

Great, thanks for the quick response, as usual!

Alex/Tire Rack, can you confirm this?

TireRack does not guarantee 215/40/17 as it has a shorter diameter, and needs 35-36 psi to maintain correct load. I know several MC drivers using this size with good results, and no complications.

I have 215/45-17 and have no issues...
I will probably not be able to lower the car with this setup, but have no intention to do so.

Peace,

If there are no issues what are the pro's and con's of the two sizes? Is there any difference at all? Thanks for all your help!


EDIT: I think I'll just stick to the recommended 205/45/17 and save myself from potential issues with the diameter being too small.

I run 215/40/17s on my 17 x 7 wheel with no issues... In fact, I've had 2 200+ lb passengers in the back and there was no rubbing at all... go for it:smile:
