Hey all,
So I just bought some potenza re71rs, because everyone in my autox is running them, in a 205/45r17 to throw on my team dynamics pro race 3 17x7 and I went to two tire shops and they dont fit. On my car rn are the dunlop direzza 215/40r17 Im confused because the tire shops said its to small for the rim. Like they let me back to see and the tire when they were trying to inflate it just wouldn’t contact the outside of the rim in one spot. That doesnt seem to make sense to me since they are rated to go up to 7.5” width. Im just so confused about this whole situation and was deciding between the 205s v 215s because of fitment. I chose wrong apperantly but like now I have no choice but to get the 215s. Apologies for so stream of conscience and appreciate any insight as to why putting 205s on wouldn’t work.
