Hey peeps I recently put some 17's on my 95 classic import 215/40/17 tyres fitted but they occasionally still rub wen cornering hard on fast or hitting dips at speed. The car is on standard suspension, I'm thinking they may be wrong offset. Any suggestions would b greatly taken on board cheers

They're wolfrace can't remember the model I got em off eBay so don't know the offset. They came off a 99 wagon he sold em cause they were rubbing but they had 225/45/17 tyres so I changed em

Agreed. Had wolfrace alloys on my vectra and focus. Tyres rubbing on the arches but with standard wheels n same size tyres no issues

Yeah I was wondering if 205' mite sort it. I ain't 2 worried if I can't sort it as only paid £120 4 the wheels. Thanks 4 all the replys

The offset will be stamped on the inside of one of the spokes. Preceeded by 'ET' The smaller the number, the more the wheel will protrude.

correct tyre size should be 215x40
