Urgent help help help! Tire Size on MP5!

[Togan]

Im getting 215/40/17 tires tomorrow for my p5 but the vendor said the rear might rub little bit if its 215s with weight at the back, is this true?!!?!(dunno)(sad2)

 

[ghettobubba2001]

well the stock p5 rims are 195 50 r 16 so i think ur dun out of luck

its going to rub even with 16's with weight in the back. i had 215/40/17's before, they only rub if you go to fast over a speedbump or potholes. oh and if you have your fat mom in the back,lol

i have that size 215/40/17 on my P5 and no rubbing issues at all...

it's not like you're new here.

it really depends on the offset of your rims and what you have for suspension.

so waiting on questionable answers from people you've never met is 'quicker' than doing 5 minutes of research?

Anyway, I'm on 215/40-17s w/ 17x7s +42. Because of the low offset, I do occasionally rub. If you run a +50, you shoud be fine. And when I say 'rub' I mean that .0001123" of material left over from when the tire is made is shaved off the side lol

well, maybe you should check that thread before asking another question that's been asked over and over again.

next time, research before you buy so you're not stuck with something you don't want/need. trust me, I've wasted plenty of money on mistakes like that.
