Anyone running 215/45/17 tires? Options

[Fr3AkAzOiD]

Interested if anyone is running 215/45/17 tires and if you have any pics?

I know a lot of people running 215's usualy go with 40's but I don't want that low of a profile as there are some rough roads I have to drive on occasion.

Thanks for the pic.

Do you like how they ride?

I see in your profile you have sportline springs, how much did you drop? 1.5 inch?
Am I correct in assuming you didn't have any problems with rubbing?

I have the same setup, Sportline springs with KYB GR-2 struts, and also running 215/45/17 tires. No issues with rubbing whatsoever, and I highly recommend this setup for a DD because it can even tackle some tough bumps and crappy roads without issue.

I've got Falken 512's in that size. I love em. They feel great on the road and they don't take bumps too hard (talking about the clearance between road and wheel, not the Falkens) lol

Thanks for the great info everyone.

Once I'm done paying for two recent surgerys I'm planing on making a sporty sunday cruiser (third car) and with that setup it looks like I can lean into the car quite a bit more then stock without the wife complaining about the stiff ride like she did when we rented an Elise in Vegas.

BTW I like your TC wheels SwissFerdi.
