Hey all!
My 17 inch Yokohama tires are at the end of life on my car. I was planning on getting some new 18 inch wheels over Christmas with some new tires, but it didn't work out with my wallet. So in my effort to save a bit I was able to snag some used tires here at my shop that I pulled off a Nissan. It's a set of 4 with ~5/32 left which the customer didn't want anymore. It should get me through the winter!
Only thing is the tire size is different. 215/55/17 which is a bit taller than the OEM 225/45/17. I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with using a larger sidewall and if it rubs at all? I'm assuming despite being a taller tire, I won't have any clearance issues against the shock tower and the tire due to the width. Is this the case?
