Default 215's on 2 inch drop...will they rub?

I have 215/40/17's on my LS. I am getting the H&R race springs (2.0 F / 1.75 R). Will I have a problem with rubbing? If so, would rolling the fenders help at all???? Thanks in advance.

I agree, 205s are plenty wide.
Make sure the offset is correct on the rims, so that tire and suspension don't try to occupy the same space...

As to whether the 215 will smack into the fender lip when the race springs go on, I am not entirely sure.... but worst case scenario, I suspect fender rolling would help eek out a bit more clearance.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I can tell you I've had no probs with my 205/45 VR16s on 1.65" of drop. :dunno:
