225/45-18 AND Sportlines (06' SS/SC)

This has probably been discussed more than Charlie Sheen, but I'm at work and don't have time to squander through the forums all day:
Anybody have any fitment issues running Sportlines with 225/45-18 size tires? Going to be ordering either...
Conti DW
BFG T/A KDW 2
Hankook Evo K110
...on Monday and need to decide if I'm going to go up in size.

Thanks!

Look at it this way, 255/35/18's fit with sportlines.

You're good.

225/40/18 is the proper tire size for the car. 225/45/18 will fit, but your sidewalls are going to be fatter and your speedo is going to be off a little.

225/45/18's are almost 1 full inch taller!

DO NOT get 225/45's! Chances are good you WILL rub with Sportlines. Get 225/40/18's if you still have stock SS/SC wheels.

I just bought and installed continental extreme contact dws 225/45/18 on stock rims after seeing good reviews on that tire/size here on the site...and its already close to rubbing when wheels r turned all the way. If i go aftermarket rims like enkei ekm3s... Will sportlines work? Or is it soley based on the 225/45 part? Also r coilovers possible?
