buying new tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

darkmoon87 · 03-14-2010, 05:41 AM

i previously had 205 40 17 tire on my rims and now i am buying 215 40 17.

my car has 1.5 inch drop

will this be a problem like rubbing? anyone have 215 40 17 tires with 1.5 drop?

if anyone has this setup please tell me how it is

btw mine is 4dr sedan not a hatchback model.

thanks

Edit- i forgot to mention that my car has stock shocks...so it is kinda bouncy. I guess if I am driving aggressively I am gonna rub time to time? With these 205's, it did not rub at all.

It also depends on the offset of your rims.
