Just FYI, in case it matters to you, each tire will cost around $130.

I have that same set up dude... Tires and all. Check out my pics if you wanna see it. I have no rubbing issues. Camber is in specs. I went through Discount Tire and got the tires at a good price.. I've only had them for about 6500 mi so I can't give you much on tire performance. They are top of the line good year though so I'd expect them to be nice. So far they are pretty soft, quite and sticky as hell.

When I got my tires put on I was looking at the horizontal clearance of the tire. I'm not sure but 225s my be too wide.. let me know what you find out.

Yea call up a discount tire or even goodyear might know. I was lookin up in there today and it looks pretty tight. I'm sure it's been covered on here somewhere.
