no rubbing issues because of a decent offset. drop doesn't matter for rubbing as long as rims have proper offset and width, then again you would have to have really big tires to accomplish that.

so the extra half inch lift from 225/45 doesn't affect handling much? seems like the higher center of gravity would have an impact on performance. Is a +40 offset wheel too high to run 225/45 w/o rub?

Is a +40 offset wheel too high to run 225/45 w/o rub? WAY more grip with the larger tires. there is no downside to the larger tires, IMO. its better all around. handleing, ride comfort, apperance, is all better with the 225/45's for me. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
