Rubbing on +45 offset 215-50-17
Well i''m confuse ,just dropped the TL on H&R sport and i rub in the front my rims are 7 inch wide,should have plenty of room..... And no worries there just gonna trim those tabs.The rubbing is minor,rub especialy entering driveway that have some angle and big road depression that make the car bounce more than usual,otherwise is perfect.Heres some pics,those were taken pretty fast damn rain!

I know its bugging me alot ,the offset is +45 and me too i was like ummmm looks like 40 but everywhere i've check its +45 on Konig site and every wheels sellers there is,i've made a static rubbing test at work by puting about 300 pounds in the trunk of locomotive coupler knuckle,only the bumper tabs come close to rubbing at midway of the tire side wall.Tommorow i'm gonna take out a rim to closely check that offset.

Your gonna need to trim more than the tabs in back by looking at the rear tire pic. I have +48 offset with 225/45/18's and I had to trim some of the metal in the fender well on the rear, and mine looked like they tucked more than that... Definitely get that offset checked, like kris said, looks almost like a 40 offset

In the front put the rubber inside the fenders and replace the clips.. in the back cut the plastic tabs where they rub.. do not cut the metal piece like i dit .. unless you whant your car to rust..
