225/45/17 on a 17x7.5" rim fit with no problems.

Now it's just a matter of getting used to the extra grip. I was taking turns 10mph faster than where my RE92's would squeal like a piggy and I wasn't getting a peep from the Nitto's. That either says a lot about the Nitto's, or proves the suckyness of the RE92's.

Plus, they look cool too.

Oddly enough, the overall diameter is SMALLER than the 205/55/16 RE92's. Unweighted, sitting next to eachother, they were shorter.

I'm going to roll the fenders anyway, because I can do it for free (with an actual fender roller).

I'll have pics tonight!

Spoke too soon. They rub like a BASTARD on the fender when I turn sharply or have people in the car.

I'll just roll the fenders and work from there.

yep, I have that problem when i hit a big bump too fast. But at least my fenders arent carving chunks out of the tires anymore.
