Anybody have this setup? Just wondering how much the tire sticks out (if at all) with a 205/45/17 tire. I want the tire to be even with the wheel arch or inside it. I don't plan on lowering the car much more than an inch, but it would just bother me if the tire stuck out the side too much. Thanks

isn't the stock S-lite offset +50mm? Switching to a +40 would push your wheels out quite a bit from stock (a bit less than half inch). Tire Rack has your proposed sizing on their recommended list, so I'd say it's all good.

Tire Rack's Recommended 17's
