will 225/45 17 fit 17x8.5 wheels?

Oomp have you already mounted these wheels? If so did you roll the fenders @ all or did you pull it off? Spacers involved? Leme know what's goin on with that dude.

[OOMPH!]

I haven't bought tires for my wheels yet.......but I put the wheels on already and by the looks of it the fenders will definitely need to be rolled, especially if your car is lowered. THe offset of my wheels were 30mm....no spacers needed. So I plan on having to do some work to make these wheels work.....or spending some money :roll:

If you're running staggered wheels, you could do staggered tires if you don't mind the understeer (just get a lot of power running to the rear tires and it'll balance perfectly). You could run 215/45 on the front and 235/40 out back. Get your fenders rolled and you should be set. Do you have a crazy nice engine setup as well? I can't recall.

You're having issues with 15x7's Brew?

Well, I may be an odd case because I have soft-ass eibach springs that have probably sagged a bit, so the rear wheels on my car are tucked into the fenders a bit. On a couple of occasions on really hard 1-2 shifts, the tires have scraped the fender. Not really a big deal though.

Dude, you definitely will need to run spacers on those. Jarvis has 225/45-16s on his 16x7.5 Borbets with 27mm of offset, and they clear the strut by about the width of a credit card.
