215/50/17?? will they fit??

I have a pair of tires that are that width and stuff.. I was just wondering if thet would fit the car(MSP) with out rubbing. They would just be on for the winter so no true hard cornering or anything!!
thanks for all of the help!!

Uhm... No... They won't. =)

That is a super wide tire, and will rub almost definitly, even at a stand still, heh. And height wise, that's 3" of extra rubber in diameter; That's 1.5" extra height, total.

Way too wide and tall. 245/50R17 the 50 means 50% of the width if i'm not mistaken. 245 is wide as hell to begin with.

 

[toucci]

you'd need a wide body kit

I mad a mistake!! it is supposed to be 215-50-17..
the stock tire size is 215-45-17
sorry for the mistake

 

[ChiMSP]

That's 5% taller than stock, i wouldn't do it.(dunno)
*edit: although I don't think they wouldn't rub on your p5 but I'm not sure.

I have a MSP

probably will rub. go wtih 215/40/17 to be safe..the sedan has more clearance but that tire will look stupid anyhow.

oh btw:

you suck at the internet.

I dont know for sure if it'll rub or not, but consider a few things. MSP suspension is pretty low already, and the tires will probably make your car look taller but not by much. I'd keep at stock tire size for 17 in wheels

I fixed my signature so I copuld make you happy(boom01)

Did you ever try that size (215/50/17) on your MSP? I am considering them for my next set of summer tires. Anybody else know of anyone who has?

Isn't that just a kit car built on an accord chassis? Or am I out of my gord?

 

[brokemp3]

i think it comes with its own chassis but it uses the running gear from and accord.

Anybody?(ugh)
