Hey I have been looking around for tires and for a good deal on some potenza re71r's in 215/45/17.
Stock diameter is 23.46 inches, these are 24.70
Stock suspension, on stock wheels

Could I run these?

I did but you will possibly get rub in the rear wheel well where the bumper meets the body under full suspension travel. To know of the spot I am talking about driver side wheel 2-3 o'clock position.

Then you are all set. Some have knocked the joint back. Not much is required. And it is only under full travel like a bad speed bump.
