17x7 w/ Toyo T1RS...

Do you have this combo?
Are you lowered+how much? What suspension?
And what size tires do you have?
Any rubbing or other issues?
Pros - Cons?

There's nothing special about that tire. There are, however hundreds of threads where people talk about what size tires they're running on various 17" wheels.

It seems as though some say certain tires are "fatter".
Some seem to get rubbing and others don't.
I've already had others w/ this combo(215/45t1rs) and no lowering w/ no rubbing.

Other threads have some w/ no rubbing running 215/45(any brand tire) where others do have rubbing? I think i'll be ok, but just checkin to see if anyone is running this combo. Dont' mean do duplicate. just trying to be specific.

I have the Toyo T1R in a 205/45 on S-Lites, though they're currently off for the winter and for sale at the moment. My suspension is bone stock so obviously no rubbing or any other issues. I don't know about the pros/cons as I only had them on for around 2000 easy miles, but they're a good tire I think.

Here's what they looked like on my car:

Rota Subzero 17x7 45mm offset
kumho ecsta SPT 215/45-17, no rubbing, camber adjusted to about -2 degrees

offset and camber also play a role whether you rub or not, just thought i let u know
