I have crappy BFGs on my car right now in 205/225 and I can't stand it. Thankfully the rears are worn out so I can move on to a 225/245 setup. I personally would not run 225 rear tires if there is a nice 245 available. It makes it more fun sometimes, but for normal driving its just annoying because the car is even more twitchy than normal.

I've always had 225s in the rear of my car and I'm willing to bet no one would be able to tell the difference between 225 and a 245 on the back of their car if they didn't know what size they put on. The size difference is marginal and we're not out trying to find that last .0001 of a sec on a track.

I've been autocrossing for ~6yrs now and done several track days, I know what 'prop spec'd tires' can and can not do and trust me, no one on this forum will be able to tell the difference over a 225 and a 245 street tire. I'm not cutting on anyone here, but we have no Mario Andretti's or Dale JRs here.

lol....i think the major difference is most likely more noticable going from 245 to 225. When i bought my car it had semi-shitty 225 on the rear and i remember it scaring the crap out of me a couple of times on the highway (then again i wasnt used to a RWD car let alone anything under 3400 lbs). so im not sure if it was the tire tread, the tire size or my noobness.
I talked with jim at tirerack and he kinda confirmed the: if youve only had 225s no big deal....245s no big deal. Its the moving between the two.
