It'll fit with major rubbing, with a 17" wheel you need a 205/40-17

If you have 17's already use them. But if you don't I would look at a smaller rim like 15 or 16. You can run a 215 but you will have some rubbing at a 215/40/17

A 215/45-16 may not rub, but a 215/40-17 definately will.

is this based on ride height or will it rub no matter what?
