if a one wheel and tire combo weights 40lbs for both tire and rim for each corner and i got these ADR 17inch 205/40/17 would they rub and would that be too much weight for a tire rim combo. Keep im mind im getting them for $500 with yokohama pandara tires that are new, i was there when he baught them two months ageo. Please help asap as i have to know by tomarrow afternoon or he will sell to someone else. the reasion i asked about the fitment as i getting my tein HAs monday and im planning on lowing it about 1.5inch. so far when i put the back on it looks like if i lowered it it might come close to rubbin on the back innner lip i just was seeing if anyone knows about the tire if i needed another size. thanks

well u can safely run 215/40 z17 tire on a 17 rim. But you should know the offset on the wheel. I would suggest like a 42 or better offset. Its safer this way.

But I dont think you would rub. A lot of people are lowered 1.5 and dont rub.

the only reasion im getting the 205 is due to the fact it was a package deal. if it looks like it wouldent rub when i put them on there today as it sits in the rear will it be different when its lowered?? also is 40lbs too much for one tire and rim

Wheel offset is so important and yet so overlooked.
