225/45R17, 215/45R17, 17x7 Options

hello fellow Celica nutters,

i know about the search and i've had a look through the members rides but i can't seem to find what i'm after,

i read a few threads about fitting different sized tyres to the 17 inch rim, i currently have 215/40R17 but i'm not overly keen on them, wouldn't mind a bit of extra grip associated with 10mm extra tread per tyre plus a bit of extra side wall (bigger profile) to fill the mahoosive aches better,

so was wondering if any one who has done this can post up a couple of pics say 1 pic of 215/45R17 and 1 pic of 225/45R17 from a side view so i can compare the difference and whether i could live with it

also if i went for 225's you reckon there would be much rubbing? i have a 38 offset i'm lowered on Tein S.Techs now as well so its not a massive drop, i'm also thinking about sticking on some eibach 5mm spacers in the future,

thanks in advance

Tom
