Will 215/45/R15 work?

- Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:21 am #294980 I tired to search this to no luck. I am getting a crazy hook up on a some new tires but the only issue is he only has a 215 45 15. Anyone try this or know if this will work? Rims set up is 15x7 + 40 offset. My car is pretty low I REALLY don't want to roll or pull my fenders. BTW I am only doing the front tires. Thanks in advance.

If a 205 tire is 205mm wide, than a 215 tire will be 215mm wider. So can you allow for an extra +5mm of tire on each side of the rim without rubbing fender or suspension?

Keep in mind that some high performance tires, example: Azenis RT615, are a little wider than other tires of the same width. So it would help to get the physical dimensions of the tire before ordering. :thumb:

I will post pics of how it all turns out. I should be getting them tomorrow and installing them this weekend :thumb:
