i run 225, anything more and you start breaking into the aerodynamics of the car, as your tire will begin protruding further and further out of the wheel well.

Holy crap that's a small sidewall, they must be some wide. I run 215/40/17's and wouldn't want to run anything wider around here, cause the roads are ****.
