Default Quick Tire Question

Hi All,
I've got a chance to purchase a set of cheap tires to abuse this summer.
I've got 205s on the front now with no issues, but the car is lowered about as far as it can go and still be aligned. the new ones are 225s, so question is, are there going to be rubbing issues with the fenders?
TIA,

what wheel offset are you running? if you've got stock wheels shouldn't be an issue.

Why lowered so much?

It may look cool, but it typically affects handling adversely. Hard to say about rubbing with 225s with it lowered that much.

205s are way too narrow for the front - I bet it understeers something fierce with those.

225 is what the front should have.

Lowering is what it shouldn't have.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
It was lowered when I bought it, and I haven't installed the suspension parts yet (in the garage still in boxes) so, it will be coming up closer to stock ride height when that happens.
