help with wheel and tire fitment

[Nick_]

hey guys,

i am planning on getting the Konig Runaway on 17x7 +40 offset with goodyear eagle gt 215/45/17.
just want to know if anyone has any suggestions or feedback on that or should i go with different size tires? will they rub?

thank for your help

That's probably going to rub. Too little offset (+5mm more will be great), too high a sidewall I think. You'll want a 40-series tire.

thats what i thought =( will the 205/40/17 work better tho (i got a GE8 if that matters lol)

sorry this is a noob question cus i am new with wheels and all that

where does the tire or wheel rub against? inside the fender? or other parts around the wheels

Rubbing will happen most likely at the rear fender if you have too low an offset or too wide wheels. If offset is too low the wheel/tire sticks out of the fender. If you have a load of people or cargo at the back that's when the rear fender rubbing will manifest.

205/40R17 should be okay. I have a GD1 and correct offset is more critical on GDs. I think GEs can accept 7"-wide wheels with a minimum of +43 offset without rubbing (any higher offset is also good).

If your wheels are slightly narrower, e.g. 6.5", you can run a little less offset without rubbing - about +38.

thanks for helping out a noob, +rep for you!

btw spacers all around or just the rear wheels?
