I ordered these yesterday and am now wondering if this was a poor choice.

I might have time to cancel if you guys know this size will be an issue.

Didn't know that size existed. I had to look it up. That size tire is going to be 24.5" diameter and our stock diameter is 23.5"

Usually people are going for 205/45/16, 205/50/16, 215/45/16. Seen some people running 225/45/16 even lowered, so I think you should be alright.

Thanks for assuring me I appreciate it.

I'll be installing a Whoosh Hyrbid in the next couple weeks on 17 COBB S3 and figured I should try to get a better wheel/tire set-up. Sold my stockers for $600 this weekend and put in my new order.

But the more I read I couldn't find anyone running this size but I got all 4 tires shipped for $400 dollars. Hopefully I'll be happy with these rubbers for the spring and summer at least for this year.

I wouldn’t have went that tall. Nothing like lifting a performance car lol............ also might get some
Rub depending on offset and driving style.

I cancelled those tires and went with Federal Evoluzion ST-1 215/45R16.

Not sure about the quality but it fit my need for now.

If 215/45R17 will work, 215/50R16 should work.
But, one should *ALWAYS* use a tire size calculator and compare.
