also will i get away with 225 45's on them? they are r888's so a little wider

i know it going to be tight but i love the wheels

I'm sure there was some guy from Hungary or something on here that had some 10J Volks... I think.

Looks like he's vanished tho, all the pics have gone

I think 225's will rub on the rear forks or the inside of the arch on the front. Had 225/50's on the s2k wheels any that rubbed was only just mind. They were 7.5j & 62 offset, sure there are some sums you can do from that to see if it would work...

Im going to be running 17x9 et 40 with 235/40/17 with rolled arches.

One guy runs 17x9 et 45 with 245/40/17 with rolled arches and no rubbing.

I put 225/45/17's all round, plenty of clearance on suspension, front dont rub but rear rubbed on rear bumper support metal work I think it was. Never looked if I could modify it, just stuck the 215/40's on the back again. This is on 7j wheels.
