Wider tyres

Just a quick question really, has anyone ever fitted 215/45 r17 tyres on the rear of the Cally or will they catch the shockers?

My car isnt lowered so just wondering if it's gonna be a problem. Cheers

Well got down there and it's shut [img]/sad.gif[/img] So I'll have to wait till tommorrow. [img]/laugh.gif[/img]

I dont think my offset is gonna be a problem, was more worried about the width of the tyres TBH. Wozza I didnt think your wheels were that width and bloomin eck Rusty whats the car handle like on 225's?

On a similar subject, I got 215's fitted to my cally and got a blow out on my nearside rear tyre. Found it was rubbing on my after market exhaust. Any one know where i can get wheel spacers from?

i got 215/45/17 tyres on mine all round and they never catch even with a full boot and three adults in the back so should be ok
