Which size should I get? I'm lowered with H&R coilovers. I'm also running 3mm spacers right now, and I have 235/40/17 tires right now. I do a lot of autox and track events, so I want something with lots of meat on them, but I don't want to deal with rolling fenders and rubbing. I am on the stock rims. TIA

I've autoX'd with both. The 225s were stock and sucked...the 235s were
BF Good g-force KDWs. They were autosome on track, autox and street. Great rain tire too.
The 235/45 is more forgiving on potholes, and the wider trad fills out the wheelwell better w/o problems....unless you go with a S03 which is known to be WIDE, and may be too much as a 235.
