i want to put 225's on my car, but im afraid that they'll rub against my wheel well.
Will they rub and if you have em, how do they feel (cornering). will they fit on a 17x7.5 wheel? thanks dave |

depends on wheel width and offset. Give us those numbers and we can help.

QUOTE(Davesceli @ Jul 3, 2005 - 11:40 PM) The wheels are 17x7.5 38 offset [right][snapback]308140[/snapback][/right] No rubbing assuming a modest drop and sidewall that does not exceed 45. If your sidewall is bigger or the car is slammed, no promises.

let me add, if your 45 then u won't rub at stock height but if u drop u will rub. If u want to drop her too the get a 40 sidewall.

I was running 225 tyres on my last set of wheels - my new ones have 215s and overall they are much better. Car doesn't tramline anymore and is a lot more controlable at higher speeds, especially on poor road surfaces. Much less prone to aquaplaning too in the wet.

225/45/18 with 4 inch drop no rubbing unless you are doing 180 degree turn. even then it rubs only cause my entire plastic is dangling in places.
