any1 that can answer this will be my personal hero for the day:

I have neuspeed race springs (2.25/2.0" drop)

I have currently 17x7 wheels with 205/40R17 tires.

I have NO rubbing...

I want to change wheels. The wheel I want is 17x7.5

What tire sizes can I use with still NO rubbing?? I don't want to get the fenders rolled, since it is not necessary with my current wheels...

Or is it not possible to use 7.5" wheels with any tire with this drop without rubbing???

any help is apprecieated.

most 205mm wide tires will fit on 7.5" rims

typically that is the narrowest size tire that will go on a 7.5"

you should probably try a 215mm wide tire.

what is the offset on your wheels?

I'm currently running 225/50/15 with a 15x7 wheel and a stock drop with no rubbing. Once I lower the car, I will most likely have no rubbing so long as I keep a little negative camber front and rear.
