    I have got a new set of alloys for the car
    Tyre size
    225 50 17 normal size 205 55 16
    I only have around around 12mm to the top of strut and side of tyre wall
    Would that be enough clearence or will the tyre rub
    I know I can try but would rather if anyone knew first
    Thanks

    It will not run u will have enough clearance. U wont need any flex etc that wheel and tyre size will fit just fine.
