mr2 mag problems

[MR2MAD]

i have just purcahased a nice set of 17" rims second hand from a mate now stud patern is fine and everthing.
But when we were putting them on we came across a small obstical because 2 of the rims had good tread i only bothered getting 2 new tyres only to find the 2 i didnt replace wouldnt fit on the front.
Because the wall hight of the tyre is too big and hits the bottom of the strut is this a regular problem with sw20 mr2's.

ok so we did think the wall size was a bit big for the rim size but the room you have to play with is rediculasly small

sorry this isnt really a tech question more a curioustity thing. thanks

oh the tyres were 17/235/45's ....... i know over kill for a mr2 but the were still good tyres
