You will be fine with 225/45/17 tyre and its not too narrow. Wheels are sunken in though, but its a nice looking wheel.You could always add spacers. I have 17x8 et20 front and 17x8 et10 (style 122) rear as my winter setup.

I haven't roll my fenders and 17x8 et10 with 225/45/17 doesn't rub and im lowered with HR sport.Probably something like 15-25mm spacer.

I have 225/45 winter tires on 17x8 style 185 et 34 and use 15 mm Turner hubcentric spacers in the back. It looks great considering it's a winter set. I would go 235 square w/15mm spacers in the back for summer/as tire. Easy clean fit.

235/45/17 is fine - I have them on My 2009 LCI with 17x8 ET34 rims non-staggered. Tires are the wide fitting Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 1 and there is still a lot of space.

How does it look on the rim? I'd imagine that tire in particular would "bulge" a bit on an 8" wheel.

but i do plan on getting 15mm front and 20MM rear spacers, because the wheels looked "sunked". |
