Biggest tire with no rubbing: 17x7.5", et21

[talltorontoguy]

Anyone running these sized wheels? What is the maximum width I can run on these without having to do a major fender overhaul. 215/40/17? Any bigger? A little rolling is ok.

I bet you could get away with 225/40

Unfortunately there is only one company that makes that size.

215/40 is pretty much the way to go.

Were you rubbin? What offset were you at?

I don't think you will NEED anything bigger than a 215 honestly, unless you have M30 power, S50 power, or turbo power.

The too thirty fives look 10 x sicker than the too fifteens
