help: tire sizes (again)

I might get flamed here but at least i tried and searched. its better to ask than never.

i just got new 17's and my car is already lowered with progress springs. my offset is 43mm and will 205's or 215's fit on my rims? or it has to be either one or both fits fine?

will it rub if i have 215/45/17?

The difference would be the width...

You'll get a bit more traction from the 215s.

Well, you also get more height if you go wider because the aspect ratio is a percentage of the width. But the difference is minimal.

And no I won't flame you for not finding the stickied thread on tire and wheel sizes but I will flame you for having such a vague title for your own thread If every question posted on this forum was titled HELP, that would be all you see in the directories!!!
