Yes, like if the tires were straight it would hit in the middle of tire area in the wheelwell of the fender.

that doesn't make any sense..... i would find some evo people local to you... and let them figure it out for you....

winter haven is near orlando, correct?

im pretty sure they meet up every week and hang out


and the tire size you picked is wrong.... if u go skinnier 245 to a 225 then you want to go higher from 40 to maybe 45

you need to keep the same ratio as the stock 235/45 example... i upgraded to a 255/40... i went 2 steps wider and a step lower on the side's

cheers!

- stock Evo tires 235/45/17, diameter 25.3

- current 245/40/18 Neo Gen I have on the car, diameter 25.75

- 225/40/18 Neo Gen, diameter 25.09...suggested tire to get, appears best bet as outer edge should not rub at all, due to being 1/4 " narrower on each side.

I called Tire Rack and the person I s/w said as long as the diameter is close to stock and get all 4 new tires then it should be fine. Also the person at Goodyear tire shop said the same thing. Again, the front tires only rub when they are turned all the way to the left or right, and its on the outer edge of the tires. The rear tires are fine.

just roll the lip inside the fender... dont need to roll it wider since it only rubs when turned all the way....

ya can do that with a baseball ball... ya jack up the enough to get it in and roll it around and pull... itll flatten out the inner lip...

it just sucks to go skinnier... your offset must be ridiculous.... people put 275's without having to roll anything
