wouldn't that depend on your off set of the rim in which to clear the car would have to sit up high enough toclear the fenders and the wheels would stick out the sides of the car and look like crap in my opinion

you would have to have a hell of an offset.....you have to worry about turning due to the tire hitting the frame rail, fender, and bumper....not to mention with a 225/45-17, your gonna be cutting a nice 1/2 inch wide groove in the edge of the tire from it rubbing on the spring pearch.....guess how i know
