Default Those of you with the 17" B6 sport wheels on your B5 - I don't know how you did it...

...I've now tried 3 different sizes of tires, the last being 215/45/17...with the same end-result: interference with the part of the suspension that protrudes into the wheel well (?).
Were there different versions of the B6 sport wheel with different offsets or something?

Default 235/45-17s with a 10mm spacer in the rear.

225s would have worked, but the tires that came with the wheels were fairly new and I already had the spacers and bolts laying around.

Can't be done without spacers...on my car at least.
Tried 235, 225, and 215 finally (all 45zr17)
