          It will work with a nice roll front and rear. It's going to be pretty damn flush though.

              Why do you want to run that size over 225/45? From a quick search on Tire Rack, it looks like that size offers greater tire selection and it gives you a little extra clearance.

                im using 225/50r15s with ET12, Falken 912s. Bilstein sport struts, eibach sport springs, i rolled both front and back fenders (back probably didnt need it unless your lower) but i also had to modify the front inside tire well, the wheel was rubbing on full lock and during higher speed turns i kept the top guard just the front inner splash guard is cut. i like the meaty look as well.
