Hi

My factory Dunlops are good to set fire on and I want to change them for the Dunlop Direzza DZ101 in size 215/45R16 http://www.dunlop.ca/dunlopca/displ...6&sidewall=BSW&prodID=26502424000000&zipCode=

So my question is....if I buy 4 wheels of 16"x7" and 45 offset (5x114.3), will the tires rub on the inside of the fender or anywhere else???

You might get a little rub on the inner fender on the rear... probably not much though.

215s will not fit the stock rims, 205 will without problems though

I am running 215s on my mazdaspeed rims without problems only because they're 1" wider than stock

so 215 wide with a rim 7 inch wide will not rub anywhere at all?
without any modification

I am running 215/40/17 on a 42 mm offset and I had to roll the fenders 'cause I rub on hard cornering...with or without passengers...the rub was minimal but enough to make me want to roll the fenders...rather roll the fenders than get stuck out in the middle of nowhere because of a blown sidewall...

On a 45 mm offset rim you might and 215 tires you might rub on hard cornering...especially when loaded.
