Theoretically speaking* my 215/45R17's are 3.8% larger than the OE fitment, but 4+ months and 6000+ KM down the track I've no problems at all to report.

Even when fully loaded for a 2500KM journey last April (giving it a ~2" drop) I only experienced two light rubs in the front - but that was only when hitting some pretty nasty bumps at 140+ KM/hr :)

Speedo seems bang-on to me as well, so I'm guessing the stock calibration is on the low side to begin with. Ride quality is 95% as good as the OE tires, but handling and general stability is much improved of course. I will stick to this size when buying tires again fer sure!

* I say Theoretically because it all depends on your weght load vs. infaltion pressure of course. It's pretty easy to add a couple of % to your rolling circumference by increasing the tire pressure.
