I know alot of people on the board have 215/45/17 tires. I was wondering if anyone has tried 225s (7.5 inch wheels) and whether there were any rubbing issues with a moderate (1-1.5 inch) drop. Also, what performance differences can I expect?

im fairly certain you will be fine not to rub. and the performance gains will be based soley on the tire model you choose.
