Default Will these Falken RT615 fits on Advan?

Hi all,
Did a bit of research of what tyres will fit on S2k.
Mine is 2000 model with Coilovers, recently purchase a set of Advan rims and now looking to get some Falken RT615 tyres.

The size of the rims

Front: 17" X 7.5 +48 offset
Rear: 17" X 8.5 +50 offset


Thinking to put
215/45/17
245/45/17

I looked into the fitment guide and seems like i should be fine with clearance.
However, just wanna double confirm that i will not have any rubbing before i order the tyres.

Forget to mention i did not roll my fenders.


Any input are much appreciate.



Thankx.

Rear should be a 245/40.

Seems like 245/45/17 is not available. I'm in Australia.. lack of resources...

I might go for 235/45/17 to get more space from the rear fenders i guess.


Thankx for the input.

You want 245/40-17 or 255/40-17 for the rears.

Don't really wanna go for 255/45/17 as i think they are goanna be too wide compare with the fron 215/45/17


However i don't think RT615 make 245/40/17 base on here

http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tiremode...irebrand=Falken

and

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/t...r%2FPerformance


so i reckon i might just go for 235/40/17 for the safe side.

although wouldn't have as much grip as i want.

DUDE, it's 255/40-17

The will fit EASY on +50 offset wheels.

215/45-17 front with 255/40-17 rears can't be THAT bad a combination, it's what's on the CR.
