Researched but wanna make sure...

I just got my TSW EVO R's and they are 17" 7" ET40. I have also Eibachs.

My question is I want to get 215/45-17 tires but I don't know how they are going to look on 7 inch wide rim. I don't want to get any ugly tire sticking out from the rim look.

Do you thing it will rub? Usually I don't have any passengers in back.

Rubs minimally on large bumps.

Install them, drive for 2 days - take wheels off, and fire up the dremel. Minimal work onm the inside of each fenderlip. Look where the greased out light grey marks are - those were rub!
