So I am going to get the Bilstein T/C Struts and H&R springs from SP motorsports. With that drop, I am wondering what the widest tire I can fit on a 17x7.5 wheel safely? I have searched around, and no definiate awnser, So if you have the same or simular setup, please chime in.

right now you dont need any wider than 215
the widest i have found it 235but you need to tell the offset to really answer your question

A 225/45R17 is probably going to give you the best results.

at minimum get 215/45 but with 45offset 225 should be doable for a better daily driver with little to no rubbing
