[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 170136, member: 264"] It may depend on the shape of the tyre, as not all tyres are equal. Yes it may say 205/40/17 (still applies to all other sizes too) but a normal all season tyre from one company may have a rounded profile with narrow shoulders and an actual tread width of 200mm (guess). Meanwhile, a high performance/track based tyre with stiff sidewalls may have very square shoulders and so have a wider tread like 207mm (guess). ET43 is around the point where rubbing may become an issue, so tyre choice makes it very difficult to say for certain. Also, one persons occasional rub may be perfect whilst someone else could be unhappy with it. [/QUOTE]
