I have a 2000 ES and I just bought some 17" wheels with tires (205x50x17) and they rub the struts really bad. Anyone know if this is supposed to happen? The car isn't lowered (I have springs but they aren't installed), and right now the struts, lowering springs and everything in that area is stock. Do I need to buy more aftermarket parts? If so, which ones? Thanks for the helps guys.

 

I would maybe get some spacers for your rims and than get some tokiko blue struts to go with your lowering springs thats what I would do in your case.

 

myab dey rub cus dey r 205/50/17, i thought we could only use 205/40/17

 

Well, it looked to me like the strut was sitting directly on top of the wheel. Like it was only rubbing on the top. I hadn't even tried turning the wheels yet when I realized that.

 

try it but turn da wheel slowly and have someone look at da tires while ur turning them

 

its rubbing because it is a it is a 50 tire. stock struts cant fit them. either get new tires or new struts. i suggest some tokico hp blues

 

yea i heard good about those, ima get those cuz i need some new ones. my friend has some on his mustang

 

okey, i got a solution since you already spent alot of money lon ur shoes of ur neon den buy new struts and try that if they still rub sell them tires here or your local craigslist ..and get a smaller width

 

Does anyone know what size you can run if you switch to SRT struts?

 

you can run 50 series and also wider tires with srt struts . I heard some where you can also run 19's or atleast on a srt-4 you can, not sure about that one.
