Tedster was running Toyo RA-1's of that size on his ce28n's up front and had rubbing even at stock ride height.
PM him, and if he denies it, ask him why the lip of his front right fender is bent out

A 225 on those rims will rub with the driver's side front tire on severe suspension compression (stock ride height). With 235s up front, well, RT's already clued you in on that one.
