Going to put some 225/45R17 on a 17x8 wheel, does anyone have any pictures? I am hoping to buy this weekend!

These are the ones I am planning to buy in particular:

They will work great...if you like a whole lot of rubbing.

Those wheels are also the wrong bolt pattern.

lol yeah i went through all of the threads and did not see a single person use these sizes, but I the issue is i LOVE these style wheels.

Thanks for confirming, I was afraid rubbing was the reasoning behind it.

If you don't want to have to clearance anything and just want a wheel that fits, stick with at bare minimum +43 and a 7" wide wheel. More offset than +43 is even recommended if you can find one you like.

Ours rub in the rear with +40. Not much, but just enough that I'm looking at other wheel options because I'm about to lower it and it will get much worse.
