Rep Power: 416 yeah you probably will(run in problems).. 225 is pretty wide and 45 series is pretty thick to begin with. i know hondaluver had 225-35/40-18 and he was rubbing at stock height.
if your car is stock height, you might be able to get away with it but eh i wouldnt take that chance. if your car is lowered, they'll most likely rub.
but yeah even 215-45-17 is thick as is, 225-45-17 is just waaay to thick.
