205 or 215 tire ? Worry about it will rub when it wrap with 214/40/17

I bought Cobb's because I found a good deal on them, otherwise I would have just bought the Eibachs and saved some money. Honestly I didn't feel much of a difference daily driving, looks better though. Install was also pretty easy.

Actually, Cobb has Eibach make their springs to their own specifications. From what I have heard the spring rates are in fact different. With that said I love the Cobb springs. You can definitely tell that the car has less body roll and *MUCH* improved steering "feel" (and steering feedback). Coupled with a set of Cobb/Eibach sway bars makes this package feel like a bonifide slot car (or go-cart). I thought the stock car handled well... all I can say now is "Ohhhh myyyyy" lol

I'm running 215/40-17 tires on 17x7.5 42+ wheels with Cobb lowering springs. Absolutely never any rubbing even over the worst pavement, through a turn or whatever (insert condion here_____________). I don't even get any rubbing with 4 passengers.

Awesome! Thx ! I will go for 17x7 42+ with 215 next summer.
By the way, sometimes springs can be full compression when we driving aggressively on racetrack.(that 's what I concerned about "rub" ).... Anyway, I will add sway bar to reduce the body roll.

Feel more comfortable than stock .

Completely agree with yin. However once the shocks wear out in going to BC racing coilovers. Just for reference I'm running stock tires on 17x8 +38 wheels... No rub. Even autoxing, however I'm going with 215/45r17 Michelin PSS next summer.

Here is what they (PSS) look like on a 17x8 nue in 215/45r17

They should still tuck nicely into the fenderwell under full compression. Maybe not with an offset of 38+ or 40+ but 42+ works.
