Hi everyone!
This has probably been answered before but here is my problem:
I installed H&R lowering springs together with a set of used AUTEC Wizards, with tire size: 225 / 45R17, on my Clio 3 RS (2011). See attached photos.
I would like to replace the tires with a set of semi-slicks with tire size: 215 / 45R17. Since i live in Germany, i have to register it to the technical inspection association (TUV).
As you can see from the photos, the tire-wheel arch spacing is relatively tight in the front. For the wheels to be accepted by the TUV, the distance has to be one finger width when the car is up on a curb. An expert said it is relatively unlikely to be accepted with 215. Did you have any similar problems in the UK? Should i risk buying the 215 tires and try to register them?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best,
George
