quick question on width

[Galanttuner10]

i have 215/40/17 tires now that are shot and im looking inot new tires and a little change.

option 1
215/45/17

option 2
225/45/17

i like a beefy tire on there.. i am no longer lowered so its stock suspension on the black 17x7 wheels i have

issue really is.. will the 225s clear.. they should but just reassuring myself

i have 215-45 on 17x7's

i love them, they are beefy and dont rub even lowered. i was going to switch to 225-40's but was worried about rubbing

stunner was running 225's on his 18's i dont remember if he said he was rubbing

i have 225/40/18 and it doesnt rub at all, but my setup is pretty stiff. iDK about stock setup. there may be some rub in the rear

My car is lowered 2 inches in the front and the rear on just springs. I use to have 225/40/17 tires on my 17x7 rims before I sold them. Had them on for 2 years and never had any rubbing issues..

i had 215/40/17 when i was slammed and never rubbed. i was on tokico illuminas an they were stiff and now i must say im back on a stock suspension and its just as stiff. might just go with 215s cuz of knowing. dont wanna spend 300+ on tires to have them rub

You should be fine if not lowered on 215/45r17 or even 225/45r17. Though I would suggest the first size personally.

shouldnt rub

Any reason you went back to stock height?

people around here cant pave for shit. i was originally doing it just for winter but i sold the old setup and honestly now thaat its raised back up, it doesnt look half bad.

stock height is terrible. and it does look bad. once you put the JDM stuff on it will look so bad and off. it loses its sexiness

Chris get some coilovers you know you want to. Oh btw check this out to measure height and what not.

225/45 17 fits on a 7g without rubbing, so does 225/40 18s
