Just got new tyres (mail order) fitted to my 7.5" x 17" Speedline Prodrives at the same time as getting the wheels refurbished but due to the much larger rim protectors the tyres foul against the strut ( to the point of jamming )on the back wheels. is there any way of fixing this other than wheel spacers ?
Cheers

Question

What size tyres did you buy?
The "accepted" size for 17's to fit without rubbing, is 215/40 17.

Yep. 215 x 40 x 17 - went for federals as had lots of good reports (civic type r forums) about them and got a great price also but only if I can get them to fit.
