cant seem to find a for sure answer

on a classic with Showa pink STI shocks/springs, will 225 40 17" tyres be o.k ?

cheers

 

dont quote me on this but ive heard 225 on a classic may rub on the shocks depending if the car sits low.

i looked into it when considering some 225/40/18, although with yours being 17 may not have issues.

 

I think the maxium you can go is 215/40/17or maybe 205/45/17

 

cheers,i need to know for sure, appreciate the comments tho guys but does anyone know for sure ? cant seem to find a 100% yes or no to the question.

cheers

 

anyone know for sure ?

 

I fitted 225/45/17's recently and one side just rubs on the shock. The other side is fine Work that one out? My arches had been rolled previously so I fitted 5mm spaces until I change the tyes to 215 width.

So, you MAY need to run with small (5mm?) spacers if the tyres rub on the shocks.
