Brings up a good question that was probably asked already, but I will ask again.....
What is the widest tire that has been fitted on the sport 225 wheel? Is 235/40 it? How about 245/40, does the rub the fender wells? Kinda curious as wider is better..
BTW- Pulled my wheels for the first time to put on the snows with steel wheels, and guess what. The steel 16" wheels were a lot lighter than the 17" sport wheels....gotta believe a lighter rim would really make a difference in handling (i.e. less unsprung weight)
