I have Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's with a 40 offset. Do you think a BF Goodrich g-Force Sport in 225-50-15 with fit without rubbing? What about 215-50-15?

Call Tirerack and ask. BTW, I was talked-out of 205-55-16's because of rubbing issues.

Im thinking 215-5-15 might be a better choice. But the overall diameter is .5" less then what I have now. My car is stock height, so im not sure that would look ok.

I have TD 1s ET+35 with 225/45/15. They are very close to the lower arm of the rear suspension. 215/50/15 should fit, or get a 5MM spacer if you want 225s.

205/55/16 = 25" OD
205/55/15 = 23.9 OD

Im just going to stick with the 205/55/15. Shame on BFG for no longer making the KDW in 15".
