*Anyone tried 215/50 tires on oe wheels? Any rubbing?
 

I tried searching but didn't have much luck, so I am hoping to get some help from some members about the entitled topic.

Just curious if anyone has tried fitting 215/50 series tires on their stock 17 inch wheels (with stock suspension), and if so, is there any rubbing? I would assume that going from a 45 series to a 50 series should fit within the fender well without much issue, but I would love to hear real-world feedback about sidewall flex, steering response, rubbing issues, and everything else of consequence.

Thank you in advance for your time.

215/50's are my winter set up absolutely no rubbing, my summer setup is a 245/40 so the winter set-up is a much nicer ride. but a cant really speak to steering response because I don't (can't) push the car... snow n all...

Have you taken the steering wheel lock to lock (full turn to each side) with your winter setup?

I'm currently on 225/50/17's with slight rubbing in dips and fronts rub at full lock. widebody fenders so don't know how helpful that'll be to you..

Are you on the stock suspension set-up? Is the rubbing on the sidewall or the top of the tire?

Cars lowered on coils, in the rears tires rub on the top but not on the apex of the wheel well. towards the rear bumper. You man not have this issue, your stock wheel tucks all the way under the fender.

The issue i think you will have is in the front.. i have rubbing at full lock on the inside of the sidewall.

Bump, any other experiences?
