Naresh,

I have BF Goodrich 225/50r15's on my 97 GLX.  They're great tires, and
larger in both aspects (width and height) than the ones you picked up.
There can be some rubbing, but I've noticed only when the car is pretty
heavily loaded, like when I moved across country.  And then when I hit a
big bump, it rubs a little.  Also with four or five people in the car it
can rub on bumps.  When I'm in my car alone, as I am most often, I've never
had a problem at all.  So your 215's should be perfectly fine.

Hey Gang,

I picked up a set of rims this weekend and they have Continental Contact
215-50-15s mounted on them with lots of thread left. Anyone tried this
size on a non-lowered A3 Jetta? Any rubbing? The guy had them on his G60
Corrado and said it was a tight fit but no rubbing.

What do you think?
