I'm looking to buy some 205/45/17 but I'm afraid it will rub against the suspension when I'm turning the wheel. Right now I have 185/65/15 tires on the car and the tires are like 1 inch away from the suspension. I have a 2003 LX sedan model. Any recommendations?

if you arent that low you should be fine. look up the tire size calculator on google. oyu can find out exactly the differences in the dimensions are and then measure the amount of clearance you have until you start rubbing.

205/45/17 fits just fine. In fact, it is the recommended size when going to 17inch wheels, as the tire height is within .01 inches of the stock tire size.
