I was originally thinking to get 225/45/17 tires in the back and 215/45/17 in the front but then i realized when i would have to rotate the tires i would need 4 of the same so now I'm wondering if 225s in the front would cause anything to rub against when turning. Would I have a problem with that or will the fitment be fine?

 

Specs on the wheels? I am running 225/45/17

 

Good thing this hasn't been covered to DEATH in a 100+ pg thread on exactly this topic....

 

^While the FC "fit" thread is pretty comprehensive, it's a bit confusing to sift through. This exact question has come up twice in the last week here and here
In closing, Yes they can fit. If they fit depends on wheel width and offset.

 

what specs are you looking for? all i know is that the tires are 225/45/17 and the rims are 17x7 - 4/5x100/114.3

 

I ahve 225/45/17 up front and they fit fine. Rim is 17x7 +30.

 

The wheel size is usually stamped in the inside of the wheel. Look for something like "17x7.5 et+45" means 7.5" wide and +45 offset. Check out the links stickied in the Wheels/Tires/Suspension section of the forum as well.

I run 225/45/17's on the wheels I used as an example above with a 5mm spacer.

 

if its stockish offset it will fit no problem, 225/45/17 is a great size tire for the front of a FC

 

245/40/17 for me all around, no issue

 

225/45/17 for me, too.

 

I run 225/45/17 on 17x8 +35 all around with no issues. I regret not going 17x9 in the rear though.

 

Are you saying you are running 245's without rolled fenders and coilovers?

 

and not even spacers , in a late 85 / early 86 gxl narrow body ,, all in the offset

 

That setup works just fine for me on a 7" wheel with a +40 offset
