No, 215's will not rub, but do NOT go any higher.
EDIT: SORRY i just realized i have 205s....don't mind what i said, i don't know if 215s will rub or not.

 

i got b+g springs and 215's (215/40/17) rub...... no springs, no rub

 

Thank you ever so much! 215 it will be then. Sheeeet maybe not

don't double post

hmm if you got diff springs,must be cause of rub? no springs=no rub? have you actually tried?

Also depends on the sidewall height you get as well. The replacement tires I have on there until I order my new tires for the Tib (one blew out on me) is 205/55/15 from my GSX. It rubs on really hard rights.

 

damn! still cunfused!
WILL 215 40 17 rub????????????????????????????????? totally stock springs etc

 

what springs u got??

 

it also depends on the tire. Some manufactorers actually make their tyres a little "narrow" for the size they are. I think Yokohama is notorious for doing this, but it does help in getting wider rubber under a car.

 

You don't post much, but you've been around for a while, so you need to search a little more:

215/40R17's MAX!!! I dunno how many times I've said, that.
Even if you have 1.5" drop you won't rub. HotRod has that setup, and it's fine.
