Will these fit?

[Saggy Ostrich]

Looking at getting a set of Rota Fighters and seen some that are 17x8 ET48 and will be on 215/45/17 tyres.

Will these fit okay?

Yep. Same spec I had few years back.

Unless you are super low anyway.

Great thanks mate, not super low only on Mugen Showa. Was worried the 215 tyre would be stretched.

Same set up I have, but, running 225 tyres you should be fine

I had 225 on with my mugen too.

Would a 225 tyre be better? When my tyres need changing maybe I'll look at that.

225 will fit nicer on the 8” wheel

Will it be OK to run 215 tyres though? I have brand new 215 size tyres that I will be putting on the new wheels so don't want to change tyres again so soon.

Yeah they‘ll fit, just wont look that good, or have as much grip 😂

That doesn't sound great lol.

So I've been an idiot and just assumed my current tyres are 215 but checked this morning and they're 225 lol so all good!

Another confirm here. Running Rota Torque 17x8 ET48 with Potenza RE070 225/45/17 and they are fine. The RE070 is a very chunky tyre too... and i'm on Meister R coilovers but not too low.

There isn't bags of room on my setup though but on Showa you should be absolutely fine I would think!
