Hi!
I want to know if someone use 205/45 R17 tire on a 17x7.5 inch wheel. Standard is to use this tire on a little narrower wheel such as 17x7. Will it be fine using 17x7.5 instead? Is it easy to damage the rims with this combination and other possible problems? I want to use 205/45 since the speedo will be the most accurate and it is used by MINI.
