1509joe,Ive found 225/45/17 rub on a classic. Just changed to 215/40/17 and not had a problem.
This is on newage STI rims with coilovers on a 97 uk car.
However, the speedo reads about 8mph over the actual speed of the car(as checked by sat nav) but no rubbing
thanks

5x100pcd 2004 sti wheels 17x 7.5" et53 - clear Brembo's - it's the spoke shape, not the et.
P1 wheels were 18 x 7.5 et51 with 225/35 tyres - sometimes rub on stock arches.
Tyre widths aren't consistent between manufacturers. I'd stick to 215 max width. Unless you're going to run excessive camber?
