People with 17inch rims and 205/40 tires... does it rub on the fenders?

What do you guys do to solve this?
Also, what offset does your wheels have.

Thanks!

a 205/40 will fit and is the usual size folks with Civics use on 17" wheels. The only downside is that there really aren't many good tires in that size.

Mike-who uses the factory 15" alloys and has a huge selection of tires to choose from.
