It depends on the tyres (some have a squarer shoulder than others), but with the spacers removed and at your current ride height, I don't think you will have too many issues .

But I would put the 245s on the rear to start with and see how that fairs (I think it will be the rears only that you will have issues with and are likely to need to sort the tabs. There is no harm running that size on a 9" rim and some manufacturers 245s are actually wider than some 255s.

I had those wheels with those Eagle F1's I showed you, 225 & 245. No rubbing when lowered 20mm.

I take it you don't want the PF01's anymore then

didnt get the impression you wanted to sell !

And im impatient

really wanted the rpf1's but due to the brakes not that easy to make fit apparently

I have these Rotas and my car lowered about 30mm on Tein spec S Springs and standard shocks.

Now I do have slightly taller rear tyres than most people would run but I think they fill the arches better

Fronts: Kuhmo Ku36 XS 215\45\17

Rears: Kuhmo Ku36 XS 235\45\17

Mine are generally okay but do rub a little on the back if I go over big bumps with a heavy passenger, but I think this is down to the fact im running springs and haven’t rolled my arches.

Here is a picture of the car when its empty

You lowered at all?

I run similarish offsets and widths with my PF01's.

17x8 ET50 fronts with 225/40/17
17x9 ET60 rears with 255/40/17

I rub on corners with OEM geometry and lowered on Eibach Pros

looks like I'll try the standard tyres first then and see what room I have to play with

oh .... yes lowered approx 20-25mm
