Lowered and no problems with that size. That's stock for MP3 and MSP isn't it? Or is the MP3 a 40 series.

So the 215/45/17's are a good tire to go with for the MP3? Shouldn't be any problems at all if the MSP's are running on them. I just found a great deal on them, that is why I ask.

215 has just a tiny bit more of contact patch.

stock tire size for msp, rubs on the inside wheel well of front tires (only because of Eibach 1.75" lowering springs)

I use that size, no problems either, it rubs a little on the wheelwell guard on bumps and such, but when I bought the car it was already worn there, so it doesnt rub anymore! lol but its just plastic in there it doesnt hurt anything. works great, more traction with the 215 vs 205.
