As the title suggests, do you have 255/45 rubber on 17s. This is the best I can get that is load rated for my tonner. Turbo Nick mentioned to me that there could be some guard rubbing with mid corner bumps etc.
thanks Luke

I've got 265's on the rear of my AU and they don't rub, 245's on the front and neither do they. Just lip the guards.

255/45R17's will be to big, and mess with your speedo/odometer.

at 100, does that mean your speedo *presuming it was accurate before* would read 98kph or 102kph ?
