Whats the offset of your wheels, and do they just rub on the inside of the fender well?

becareful if you have rubbing issues... and make sure to get an alignment done... you don't want any premature or unusual wear on your tires...

Here is the differences in the tires. You would be suprised at the small difference. I think its because the offset on the stock rims. Does anyone know what that offset is on the stocks?
185/60-15 4.4in sidewall 11.9in Radius 23.7in Diameter 205/40-17 3.2in sidewall 11.7in Radius 23.5in Diameter 185/61-15 74.6in Circumference 850 Revs/Mile 205/40-17 73.7in Circumference 860 Revs/Mile |

Here is the tire calculator I use. Just put both the old tire size and the new tire size and they compare them.

Hey Chris do you have any idea what the offset is with the stock wheels on the 185/60/15's. We were worried that +40mm wouldnt be enough and now it seems to be too much. I have 215/40's on with a +40mm offset and I took it to a friend of mine that does suspension work and he said I should be ok from rubbing.
