I know alot of people on the board have 215/45/17 tires. I was wondering if anyone has tried 225s (7.5 inch wheels) and whether there were any rubbing issues with a moderate (1-1.5 inch) drop. Also, what performance differences can I expect?

im fairly certain you will be fine not to rub. and the performance gains will be based soley on the tire model you choose.
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
i used to have 225/45/17 on front only bad thing was my acceleration was ****ty but i could take corners more aggressivly.
definetly 215/45. or if you have relatively good roads in your area a 215/40 wouldn't be bad either.
What are your reservations about the 225s Ghost Dog? Performance or fitment?

215's are perfect on these cars...you dont want to get too beefy of a tire cause the car isnt too beefy.
