I got my tires in the mail today. They look so wide sitting on my floor. Can anyone tell me if they'll rub?

You just made me feel better :D

Today was a good day. Tires came in the mail. Paid for eibach sportlines. And the tires I got said W speed rated but they came and they say Z rated on them :cool:

Ah your right. I assumed that a higher letter was better. I looked at them again and they say 215/45ZR17 87W. Tire rack says:

While a Z-speed rating still often appears in the tire size designation of these tires, such as 225/50ZR16 91W, the Z in the size signifies a maximum speed capability in excess of 149 mph, 240 km/h; the W in the service description indicates the tire's 168 mph, 270 km/h maximum speed.

So they are W rated.
