There will be no larger gap if you change to 17" or 18" if you use the right tyre size, but if you want lower profile then there will be larger gaps in between.

What is your original tyre size?

Best size to go still is 215/50/17.

225/45/18 exceeded the 3% by 0.01% :biggrin:
But gonna be bumpy ride than usual. If with sports springs even more :biggrin:

Best to use 215/50/R17 which will reduce your fender gap by >3mm and still within the tolerance from std size. Use rim size 17x7 or 17x7.5

use 215 45 17 with 7.5/8jj rims

Yes, 215/45 is actually even smaller diameter than std size, hence will increase the fender gap and the tire is getting too thin so will be a bit harsh ride.

Do not use staggered sizes coz your car is FWD.

Ok what, to make handling even better. Basically to make it a station wagon. :)

That is why I mention use the correct size tyres. 215/50R17 you mention is correct but is actually bigger then the original so how can it have more gap? You simply think that going 17", lower profile automatically more gap.....:banghead:

I just change to momo steering recently. Due to my previous steering is equiped with SRS Air bag, now the srs light keep on blinking. How do i remove the srs light? Some recon to remove the srs bulb but very hassle coz need to take out the meter panel. I heard some one say remove the srs ecu will do the trick. Just wondering where is the srs ecu located and how do i remove it. Driving a sgti siemens version. Solution is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
