check on tire rack and see if something larger than that will fit. if something larger will fit chances are that those will not rub.

The 225/45-17s on a +48mm rim will most likely rub on the fender lip. The offset is the problem more than the tire width. To get a 225-17 to work on the BD/BGs you have to have a near ideal offset (+53-55mm.)
205/50-17 is the wrong diameter for your car. The best size for your car and that rim width is 215/45-17 IMO and on a +48mm has a slight chance of rub depending on if the car is lowered. Now if you roll the fender lips you should be good to go. ss |

i compared the 205/50/17 to the 205/55/16 ...its only .6% diference and its 1.4 mile faster...is that really bad for my car if i DID install the 205/50/17?
