Hi, I plan to upgrade my alloys and tires to 17". Right now Celi is lowered 1" on Tanabe NF210, and setup is stock 15" alloys with 195/60R15 tires. I plan to upgrade this to 17x7.5J ET35. My concern is rubbing. I've used tire calculator and searched this forum and come to conclusion that 215/45R17 should be right option. I'm afraid that 225/45 might rub because NF210 springs are soft almost as stock, so there is much more bottoming than stiffer springs like eibach and tein. Does someone has some word of experience because new tires and alloys cost lot of money, and I want to choose right option. Tnx |

My previous wheels were 17" mounted on Nankang N-1 225-40-R17 with TRD coils (1.1" drop front / 1.1" drop rear) and had no problem at all... as a matter of fact there was still lots of place
