Will i fit a 17 inch 215/50 on a Sportivo??

[LFT-OOF]

Hey guys was just wondering if i would fit a 17 inch rim with 215/50 rubber on a Corolla Sportivo

[RedSportivo]

Im pretty sure it would.

[LFT-OOF]

im hope they fit

[.gorgz]

How big are the stockies? just out of interest.

I'll be hunting for rims soon too, SSR Meshies!! :P

[RedSportivo]

Well the Tred on my Rolla is , 205/50 r16 on stockies. and i have room to put 17s so im pretty sure it'll fit.

[LFT-OOF]

im pretty sure they will fit but on my sportivo i got 205/45 but my car isnt lowered yet so i guess putting a 17 with 215/50 would still fit.....

you can try to run larger profile tyres, but it will throw your speedo out.

for our corollas, the set size (if you want 215's) is either 40 or 45 profile. I run 215 45 R17s, and my speedo is marginally out...

choose 215 40 R17's. <<< this is what I will be going back to (eventually).

My 45's still scrub out the fronts even after raising it 15mm :o lol :P

I was told it would not when I was hunting for new tyres a few weeks ago. He was looking at the car when he told me this.

and fyi my car is lowered and have 17" so I stick with the 215/45. :-l

Hey evan,

Sup man? yeah I know i have been really busy lately.

Well, i would love to come to the annual meet but there is barely anyone for VIC going so I am not too sure what to do. I don't wanna be stuck there on my own. :(

Just renewed my membership as well..hahaha..did not realised it ran out. :-l

[thestig]

hey i have 17x7 offset 38

tyres are 215/45

tyres scrub when driving but my car is lowered on king springs super low

im getting the guards rolled on saturday

[123R-Prozak]

yeh i got 205/45 17's, lowered... view my garage for space between wheels n guards

[Ronnyboy]

the correct fit for 17X 6.5 and 17X7 inch wheels on the corolla is 205/45/17s

215/50 will fit but depending on the cop you can get defected as diameter will exceed the overall recommended size.

[Rolla Boy]

I'm running 215/35/R19 on mine so your 17's will fit with no issues :)

[Seby123]

anything fits if you want it to

[Ronnyboy]

anything fits if you want it to

Yes in most cases it does.. :D

[Zeinheiger]

anything fits if you want it to

That's what she said!!!

the stock tread on the stivo from factory was 195/55/16 ...... which was a shocking setup because of how rare it is to find a tyre made in that size and when you do its stupidly expensive because its a rare size.

215/50/17 is actually going to throw ur speedo out by a bit and in the wrong direction ..... based on the calculators when ur speedo shows 100km/h u will be doing 104.2 km/h so u might trigger a few speed camera's inadvertently unless u keep ur eye on the speedo & adjust accordingly ..... a closer fit would be 215/45/17

Here is a calculator to muck around a bit with it yourself

Sorry to suggest an enemy site but this calculator is really handy for comparing sizes/profiles etc.

Hey I might be slow but at least I'm rough
