Need tyre advice for new wheels

[EthanTEG]

Hi all. I’m looking at getting 17x8+55 wheels, but not sure whether to get 225/45 tyres or 215/45. I’m currently running the OEM ride height, but I’m intending to lower the car 25mm on Spoon springs with FRSU. Would 225 tyres rub with this setup? I prefer how the 225s look (plus I believe they’re a more ideal tyre size for 8J wheels) but don’t want any rubbing. I don’t want to have the arches rolled either. Any help would be appreciated.

You should be fine with 225s. I have the same wheel size and setup with no issues.
