Rep Power: 0 Neuspeed Sports and 215/45/17: Will it rub?
I am running on Tokico Blues and Neuspeed Sports right now, with stock rims. I'm getting 17x7 rims (most likely the PIAA FR-S). I have gotten conflicting opinions on what tires will fit. I want to get 215/45/17, but the last saleperson I spoke to at a tire shop said they would rub. Opinions?

Rep Power: 0 Was the problem with your 215/45/17 tires that they were too high (overall diamater), or that they were too wide? If I spend a little extra $$, I can get the less-common 205/45/17 size.

Rep Power: 252 i had 215/45/17 on my rotas but i was dropped on coilovers. i had my skunk2 sleeves only 5 threads down and my rear about halfway. since i have a rear camber kit, i adjusted it so it was very little negative so the wheel would tuck and not hit the fender. as for the front, it could possibily rub on hard turning (that was my only issue).
consider the 205/45/17 size if thats not an problem, im sure with that size, you wouldnt rub. plus, its more ideal for a daily driver set of 17x7 rims anyways

Rep Power: 323 I'm lowered 1.6F/1.8R and I have 215/45R17's...I haven't had any rubbing issues other then after I got it aligned, the guy only put -.3 camber in the rear...And they rubbed like a monkeyfo. If anything the next time I get tires I'll be getting 215/40R17's

Rep Power: 379 i had 225/45/17 azenis and they didn't rub in the front, well only when the steering wheel was turned all the way to 1 side on a incline. I had the rears on Neg camber so the rears wouldn't rub

Rep Power: 0 well my 215-45-17's rub like a biatch with sportlines and hp blues, guess it's cause of the major offset on the rims - which were bought in 01 so there's nothing I can do until I get new tires....I'll just run neg camber but I don't think that'll work enough and I don't think shaving would be enough either?
