Exclamation 225/45/R17 TYRES...???

Has anyone fitted to their standard Classic 4-door shell/hubs...

225/45/R17 tyres to 7J x 17" wheels with an offset of ET45?!


...And was it a successful venture lol?

I think 215 is the limit on a 7j wheel according to the online calculators. Mags will be the one to know for sure.

My winter set has 225/45/17 and I wouldn't recommend the rear end hits the what I would call the suspension turrets, nasty noises haha

That's the size I'm running at the mo.

Just wanted to see if 225/45/17s would be feasible. As I wanted to change to P Zeros but they don't come in 215/40 or 215/45 (or even 225/40).

Yeah, but I specifically wanted the P Zeros - as based on evo's latest tyre test:-

However, anyone know if the P Zero Nero's are as good or better?
