Default Anyone running 215/45/17's on the Neons/

Have a 2005 SXT and found someone selling tires and wheels. Not sure if the 215/45/17's will be rubbing on anything if I get them. Anyone have any experience with this tire size on the Neons?
Thank you.

They should barely fit under stock SXT strut perches...

in all honesty its really gonna depend on the offset of the rim. 215s im guessing its probably a 7" rim?

if he is local i would consider trying on your shoes before you buy them. and if all else fails and you really want them you could get some evil spacers.

How much room is between the tires and the strut perches with the 215/45's?
