Hi Everyone!
I am just buttoning up my porsche 944na brakes, and 17x7/9 (et55) wheel installation. I am running 205/40/17 tires in the front and 255/40/17 tires in the back.
My question is about clearance between the tires and suspension components. Ex. spring plates/bump stops in the back and the strut spring in the front.
The way it is now, I have about 1-3mm of clearance between the tire and any given component. I have been told that if i am driving aggresively the tire will flex and rub said components.
Should I be concerned, should I use spacers? How much do you think the sidewall of a 40 series tire will flex?
Thanks.
