Default Anyone running 225/45/17's on a lowered 965?

I'm considering putting 225/45's in place of the stock 205/50's.

Has anyone experienced problems with rubbing if the fenders ARE NOT rolled?

Do the tires look too big for the wheels? Any pics?

Also, has anyone put 265/40/17's on the rears instead of the 255's? Any issues?

Thanks!

Sorry, I should have clarified... I am thinking about putting these tires on the stock 17" wheels.

Default 225 Fronts on Stock Wheels

I ran 245 F and 275 R Kumhos on the stock 17" wheels and stock fenders with no rubbing at all in a couple of DE's. As to whether they looked too big, I'm a racer and they looked kinda small. But that's a matter of personal preference. I don't think 225's will look too big.

Shawn,
Currently I'm on 235/40 17 up front and 275/40/17 rears. No problem at all. I'm going 285 next round. I dont think there are any differences between the 930 and 964 fenders.
