piggyboyz said:4 potter has got 195/55/15 so if u work it out, it will be 215/45/17. As for the 6 potter, the tyre size is 205/55/15 so it work out to be 225/45/17.
rubbing might be casued by wrong camber..

If your tyres rub besides using the same size, it can also be due to the profile of the tyre. Bridgestone and Falken have "squarer" shoulders while german tyres are rounder. Another slightly round tyre is Bridgestone SO-2. Gotta slowly look see to check the problem. If all else fails, Ah lye is your best bet...
