Tire Question

I'm not much of a tire guy, neither is my buddy, and I'm asking for him. He's getting some Volk Gram Light 57 pro's, 17x7 +46mm offset, will 215/45/17R with 87W rating fit okay? Like I said, we're not tire guys, so forgive our noobness

I'm not asking for tire brands, I'm asking if that size tire will fit the wheel? He's getting Falken Ziex

215's would be fine. but we need the car to determine the proper tire size.

ya.. thats the stock tire size... wont be a problem. also, stock offset on the tc wheels = 45mm.. 46mm will be fine.

You can fit up to a 245 wide tire on a 7" wide wheel if you want to.

I know guys who put 225 wide tires on 15x6" rims for autocrossing.
