Wheel size too small?

[takhy]

Hi! I tried changing to winter wheels today on my MG4 trophy extended range. The winter wheels are 215/50 R17 size and seem to be pressing down on the calipers in the front. Is this size too small? Manual tells me it should be good. Thanks in advance.

Read some other thread ... it seems the callipers on the ER are larger than those on the LR (or maybe they've been uprated for newer versions of the car with 18" wheels) so 17" wheels simply won't fit.

The most recent thread on this was (I think) about space saver wheels/tyres.

If the ER has 18 inch wheels as standard and the calipers are larger than those with 17 inch wheels you will struggle!

They came with R18 summer wheels. So this does seem to be the case. It's a 2024 model.

A shame, because it's the dealership I got the car from that offered R17 winter wheels because they were cheaper!

Will talk to them tomorrow about this.

Thank you!
