Default 17" 3dr wheel clearance problems

Got a set of 17x8 et40 with 215/40 tyres and the problem is the tyre is realy close to the front bumper and will catch. how much distance should there be between them ? could anyone send a picture of the front wheel Cheers rob.

Just search thru the pictures sction of this forum mate...there's a 10page thread with 3dr cossie pics in it! tbh I dont know why you've got issues with that tyre/wheel combo as it aint mega oversized imo.
