Depends what tyres fella, some will some wont, also depends on rim offset too
My 215's on Prodrive 7" rim rubbed the arch lip so I just gave it a load more camber.

I've got 225/45 Pirelli's on 17" Speedline Alloys on 98 classic wagon and they don't rub. I've got billstein suspension too, which is lowered, so I would ssume you should be OK depending on the rims. Will point out though that mine was all installed by Prodrive when new, so it shoud work together. Maybe check out what they recommend for off sets etc, and find the pieces to suit.

. How do you know Prdorive installed it, their recommended tyre size for a classic is 205/45R17 (P-Zeros). Which is what Prodrive fitted to my ST2s when i had them. 225/45s is quite a difference.Tony.
