Nope i have 215/40/17's on 17X7 rims with 1.7 drop and there's no problem of bubbing. I dont know about 45s though. Shouldn't be a problem since there is more then enough clearence room when you turn.

I also have 215/40/17s with no rubbing problems on a lowered P11, and I'm also planning to upgrade to 45 series soon. G20.net lists this as an acceptable combo with 40mm backspacing (I think). Let's keep this thread going until someone who's tried this setup can comment.

actually, before the 215/40/17 Sumitomo tires on the car, I had Nitto 450 215/45/17 on and it didnt have a rubbing problem. The offset of the wheel is +38mm so it'll be fine.

thanks for all the responses, it's been quite helpful.
