Default st170 tyre sizes

just noticed my passenger front tyre is completly bald, cant afford a brabd new 215/45/17 this week, but been given x2 225/45/17 dunlops for nothing. its the passenger front thats gone, would these dunlops go straight on the front or will they rub, or would they go on the back and i throw the backs to the front,
thanks in advance Tom

they should be fine as its there only gonna be 5mm ish closer to the shocks.

i agree with sp3no though and put them on the rear or it'll be more tail happy than usual and you might find a tree...

Mine came with 225/45/17 all round. its a bit confusing as they're on st170 alloys but obviously they should be 215...
I've had no problems with tire+bodywork issues too
