Just a quick one folks... getting tyres sorted for my new rims (17") this week and was wondering: What width to go for? Do I go with 205/40/17 or 215/40/17? I don't have any suspension mods so riding standard FR setup. Will the 215s rub?
What tyre width?

no rubbing at all 
i was in the middle of putting 215's on mine, so i know they dont rub, well i know the rears dont for sure lol

Ive been running 215's on my standard pre-facelift FR wheens for years (they are only 16's!)
If I had 17's I would go 225 which would be tight on the front, but do-able.
215's ARE perfectly fine on my 16's, and at one point I ran 8mm spacers on the front and 25mm spacers on the back with these tyres and had no problem

I know it will be fine on the back but just wondering about scrubbage when cornering tight and bumpy!

I have 17s 205 40 loadsa room. screaming for lowereing! I considered 125 just saw pic of my wheel on people's cars on here and I liked the look
I've got some 215 40 toyo proxes t1-Rs to put on mine. Just wondered if i should be inflating to a similar pressure as recommended for the 205s or if it should be slightly more? Also has anyone noticed a difference in mpg?

go with the feel i would say mate...usually 30-32psi is recommended on most tyre sizes
i ran 225/45's for months lowered 147mm on 8.5j and 9j with no worries
its a crap tyre size though lol

i would say the same pressure mate... no idea on the mpg but the more pressure the more mpg u will see....
