EDIT: Math was wrong. The below still applies though.
If anyone cares about their fender to tire clearance to its effect on their speedo; Make sure you've got the correct section height tire. Tire sizes are weird. 215/45/17.
215cm=width, 45% of section width=height, 17in. So the 45 is a different value depending on your section width.
