That is why I finally chose 17" wheels for my car.

I would have made the investment to convert to a narrowed rear axle to tuck the 15" X 9.5" knock off wheels I had if there would have been a decent choice for tires going forward.

Ditto. I wasn't happy with my 15" wheels (mostly offset issues, but they were also 8.5" all around) and the tires had aged out. I had a few options:
  1. Custom offset wheels;
  2. Narrow rear axle; or
  3. Switch to 17" wheels and tires.

I chose the last option. Still pleased with the decision.
