I'm presently sitting on different 17x8 ET35's as well but running 245/45/17 on them and there's a ****load of rubbing when I hit big bumps. I'm also sitting at stock ride height/stock suspension (though I've got a set of H&R Street performance w/ adjustable dampening sitting to go on the car too, but didn't wanna put them on with the present rub problem)

So my question would be what the best tire size is in your estimation? I'm not planning on going all the way down the the coilovers and I don't mind a rougher ride too much. I just don't want to rub nearly as much and the 245s are WAY too big.

My math says 205 or 215/45/17 should work but without adjusting camber, would that still help out minimizing my rub problem?

No idea why you put this in the engine swap tech? :idontknow: But anyways use something like this http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp Just changing the width and keeping everything else the same will throw off your speedo. You may have to roll the fenders some if you plan to lower it. I'm running 17x8 +35 with 235/45/17 lowered about 1.5" and rolled in the rear.
