I need to know the biggest size tire that can go on 17x7 enkies. My celica is lowered 1.5 inches (correctly). I don't want to roll the fenders or anything or any scrubbing.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. FYI i'm on my phone and it is currently my only way of 6gc right now so please don't tell me to search because it wont pull anything up on my phone. I have tried many times. -Colby --------------------  |

presure2 has 225/45/17 on 17x7 and dropped 1.5" and rubs on u-turns and deep bumps (nothing major) so if you want absolutely no rubbing go with 215/45/17. some tires such as falkens have a rim protector to prevent curbing

(this is on 17X7 rims with a 35 offset.) again, its not a huge deal, i really prefer the ride quality of the 225's over the 215's or 205's, especially with the 40 sidewall most rim deals come with. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
