205/45r17, Swift Springs, stock wheels

Can anyone confirm if these will fit without any rubbing?

Thanks

I'm running a 215/40 now and they are good to go, no rubbing. The 205/45 is .4" taller, I was hoping I could get away with it. Are you 100% positive of this?

Thanks!!



45 is too tall. You will rub unfortunately. 215 40 is closer to stock diameter.

At stock height youd have no issues. On drop springs some of the ridges in the front fender liners will make contact at close to full compression.

1.5" drop + taking space away with tire. Leaves little room in already narrow wheel wells.

It was about a 1.1" drop with the Swift springs. So I guess the only was to run the RE-71R'S is with stock springs?

Or fender rolling and trimming/ removing the fender wells. More trimming the liners than anything.
