I would run 235/40/17's on that and you'll be dandy.

Don't go 225 when you can go wider.

I like 235/45-17...overall diameter is slightly taller than stock, but the load index is correct...

I am trying to solve a tire rubbing problem on a friends FD. Would the larger diameter tire and offset cause the problem?
Thanks
Rick
