215/40 are a better size for a classic.

Hi mate i think the correct tyre size for the classic running 17s is either 205/45/17 or 215/40/17 never known anyone have problems with 17s rubbing do you know if there the correct offset wheel?

i run 215/40 on a classic that is around 20mm lower than standard with no issues.......
