Hi Jon-Michael,

My only concern about going for 215 is that there seems to be a great possibility that the inner sidewall will rub on the front shock absorber. With my current 205s, there is very little clearance between the sidewall and the shock already - not even enough for my finger to pass through. 215 will add 5mm to that, so I'm not really sure whether I should go for it. Have you experienced any rubbing?

(PS: My wheels are 7J15, part number begins with 126.)
