I'm running 205/40/17 on my b13. I have ground control coilover with 17" wheels. I'm looking to install new tires and wanted to know if i can fit 205/45/17..
thanks ..

im a tire technician at national tire and battery, and dealt with this same issue with my classic. the problem is the rear suspension. 205/45/17 wont work with regular struts, youll need a full coilover setup like TEIN, Progress, or D2. I had trouble fitting 205/40/17 on my sentra. the front fit just fine.But in the rear I had to hammer the spring perches in ever so slightly so they would clear the tires.

i have 17's with the same size tires on my b13 and they fit just fine, but they rub a little when making turns if you have more than one passenger in the car. i have full energy suspension in the front and back though, i would take that into consideration.
