    Quick tire rub question

    Will 245/40/17 fit on 17x7.5 ds1's all around?

    Would I need to roll fenders if car is on H&R sports?

    Thanks.

    Shouldn't be an issue unless you lower the car alot. I was using 215/45/17 w/o any rubbing problems. However, I did have rubbing issue after I change to 18. The tyres are 235/40/18. I am running a Blisten PSS.

    Thanks for the 245 on ds1 reply.

    About the rub, the reason I ask is obviously cause of the fronts. I've used staggered setups before, but I really enjoyed the 235/40 square setup all around. A certain tire I desire comes in 245/40 and not 235/40 and I wanted to know if I had to roll the fronts any.
