thanks, its hard to tell from the pic - but whats the gap to the wheel arch like (compared to the 205/45)? I have some S lites I want to fit but struggling to get 205/45 and 205/40 are nearly 1/2 the price - maybe I should compromise and get 215/40's?

Compared to 205/45-17:
  • 215/40-17 has 6.25mm more wheel gap
  • 205/40-17 has 10.25mm more wheel gap
