Chaps, Am I ok with 215/40/17 SO2s or Toyos?
At present I have 215/45/17 which rub when people are in the back.
Cheers,John

 

They're rubbing on the rear protective rubber strip. Remove that one (dead easy), problem solved.

Remember to protect with soemthing else...tape..undercoating, talk to your bodyshop.

P.S.
The Superturismo (ET48) needs 205/45x17 to not rub at all (with the rear lip left in place).

 

Tks,Jerry.Don't think I'll go for the 205/45/17 option,can't get SO2's or Toyo's in that size.So rubber strip off you come!
Cheers ,John

 

I have 215/40/17 SO2s on OZ super T rims and never had any problems

 

John,

I had 215/40 R17s on Speedline Chronos (aka Superturismos) and had no problems.

Thanks

Gavin

 

Which probably means U guys aren't driving your cars that hard?

With a 215/40 ET48 (17x7) is more of a hit/miss if it's going to rub, it's very close.

This only happens on euro spec scoobs that has the rear rubber protective strips installed, jap cars doesn't have these.
