Anyone ever do this? I'm thinking of mounting some 205/45/17 inch tires on my two front wheels because I'm getting major rubbing from being tucked. I lowered my front more and I don't want to raise it so I'm trying to decide if skinnier tires would help or if adding camber would be better.

Would the 205/45 look almost the same? Don't want tiny tires up front and beefy in the back.

Any help is appreciated.

My friend did it. I don't have any pics, but it looks goofy as hell. Not a good look.

Aw, poo. Camber it is then, think that will even help? Fenders are pretty much touching the tire on turns. Paint is scraping off and I don't want it to rust.

go here, and you can input the original size tire 215/45-17 and compare it to any size tire you'd want to use, like the 205/45-17. It'll show you how far from stock you'll be in terms of revs per mile, and speedometer error. Check it out

Dunno if you guys are asking me for pics or not, but I'm not getting the tires, I was only asking if it would look ok. I went with camber bolts instead, got em' in and will probably install tomorrow.

get smaller sidewall.. when i put on my 17x8's in the front with 205/40, the 215/45's on the 17x7 rubbed a hell lot more..

soo a 215/40 should be sufficient.. WITH a bit of less camber.
