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).

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