will 215/45/17 with neuspeed sports rub??

I am thinking of buying some neuspeed sports for my 02 sedan. Here is what I have

17" x 7" rims 40mm offset
215/45/17 tires

I am going to purchase some neuspeed sports springs and a rear camber kit to fix the camber after lowering.

Anybody out there have this setup?? Will I have a problem with rubbing??

What if I change my rubber to 205/45/17?? Will this solve the problem??

Thanks in Advance

It won't even be close to rubbing. I had Neuspeed Race springs and 215/35/18 and I didn't rub. You have nothing to worry about. A camber kit isn't even really necessary, either, you usually only want one if you drop more than two inches.

The rears will rub occasionally when you turn, but usually nope. Depends on your camber too. 205/45/17 would be great! Would look great with Neuspeed Sports too. I have Sports w/ 205/40 and they look good, but a little too thin, therefore more noticable wheel gap. 215/40 or 205/45 will be my next set.

Had 215/45/17 with 40 mm offset, i had to get a rear camber kit because they were way off alignment and they were ruining my tires. I then rubbed on every single turn with the camber corrected. If u wanna wear ur tires unevenly don't get a camber kit, but if u do get one, your tires will rub. I had to get 205/40 tires and have had no problems.
