Pls confirm: R56 stock w/ et42 17x7.5" wheels & 215-45 tires...

I don't plan to lower beyond stock suspension.

Will I have any issues with this wheel & tire choice?

Thanks!!

4x100 bolt pattern.

Pick a wheel that weighs less if you can.

Which 215/45-17 tire?

Should fit no problems.

Thanks for the feedback. So I shouldn't have any rubbing issues with stock suspension?

Regarding tires, I want a UHP summer tire that can get me about 20K miles. Was looking at Bridgestone RE750 but that is in short supply as they look to be moving to a replacement.

Current plan is for the BF Goodrich g-force sport in 215/45-17.

Thanks!
