Exclamation 17 inch on a stock suspension

i have a honda jazz 2007 model and im planning to install a 17 inch rim with a 205/40 R17 tires in a stock suspension.

if i will load 3 passengers at the back of my car, do u think it will have a rubbing effect to it!

thanks and waiting for a fast reply to it!

That all depends on your offset. If it is +45 or greater (with 205 width tires), you should be ok. If it is any lower, you'll rub.

Check the inside of the wheels. some have the dimensions stamped on them, but most of the time they are on stickers. If you can't find those, post up what wheels you got and usually you can find it on the net.

I have the same problem. I dont know what the offset is on my 17" volks. however to the original poster, YES you will rub. I had 3 passengers. One in front and two in the back. two were adults and one was a teenager. fully loaded trunk with gear for airsoft. my car rubbed when i took bumps or turns too fast.

Also I have 205/40/17

Not necessarily. If his offset is say +50 or +55, he won't rub...
