Default Max tyre widths ???? Please help

Running a 2002 WRX and will shortly be fitting eibach springs or simaliar to achieve roughly a 30mm drop in ride height.

My question is "whats the max wheel width that'll fit under the arches (f+R) without rolling or cutting".

I was thinking of sqeezeing 235x17x45 on aftermarket wheels, or even 225 at front n 235 rear?

All help appreciated and any pics are very welcome. cheers

I think that 235 section tyres will catch very badly but you will be OK with 225.
A wheel and tyre supplier like Revolution will be able to give you proper information and can also supply the springs. The drop may be nearer 20mm not 30mm so check that out too.
Running bigger tyre section on the rear of a Scoob is not a good idea unless you only plan to travel sedately round curves.
