hey, ok i had 215/40/17 size tires all around but couple days ago i blew my right front tire on the side and couldnt get it repaird. so intsead of buying a new one i took my friends pair of 215/45/17 khumo's he had laying around. i got the rear wheels put up front and put the bigger ones in the back.. but for some reason only the rear right tire rubs when i hit a bump or something, and the left is perfectly fine.. what can be causing this?

 

is it lower on that corner? maybe tire pressure or something. i dunno

 

frame could be tweaked!

 

Might be good idea to have an alignment check, to see if the wheel is leaning in or out slightly.

 

well, i have 215-45 17 on my car, and they rub in the front, only when i turn hard. my car isnt even that low.. but my rears dont rub, so alignment check time..

 

if i were to get new 16 inch wheels instead of 17 inch... would 215/45/16 be the same as 215/40/17

 

exact same thing happened to me last year, I hit a raised sewer and busted my front tire they were 215/40/17 now I have 215/45/16's and its a much nicer ride, falken make the azenis in this size tires are great on dry roads. I really ejoy this combo much more then the 17" setup. corners better, acceleration is much and the ride is much smoother over bumps. I really like it... wouldn't go back now.
