    Default 235 (45 or 40)

    Have been thinking of getting 235 size tyres but was wondering if I needed to drop to 40 from 45 on standard springs and 17” alloys. I know some of you guys have got for this size tyre.

    Will I get any problems with rubbing on them specially on the back when the car is full?

    I'm not sure a 235/40R17 would fit on a 7.5Jx17 wheel

    The issue is the 235 on a 7 1/2" rim.

    Pretty sure 18's are 8" wide though.
