But this world is far from perfect lol.

Although some of us are gifted with et49 just like me.

shouldn't rub too much. Just get rid of the arch bolts and see how it goes.

Thought et 45 was better for 17s as they catch the inner arch ?

ET45 is ideal on 17's due to the width of the wheel on ET49 you would more than likely get rubbing on the suspension.

funny that about tyres. i have falken 205/40s on my 17x7's and they look like they're stretched onto the rim but a friend has another brand of rubber in the same size and they're wider than the rim...
