225/45 on 17's...i think it may have to do with the +35 offset. I'm in the LA area
Is there anything i can do short of rolling or pulling to make some more space....the fender has already taken a small piece outta the tire. This post has been edited by Davesceli: Sep 7, 2009 - 10:18 PM |

You can generally rent a fender roller from an auto parts store. Or you can buy an Eastwood fender roller and then charge others for your service - thus making your money back.

The problem is with the rear fender lip. You can make small cuts in it, and hammer the lip up to get it out of the way, or use a grinder to just shave it all off. However a fender roller would really be the safest way to go.
I was actually doing mine just to day. This post has been edited by lagos: Sep 8, 2009 - 1:52 AM -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Just go to smaller tires man, Celicas aren't made to handle wide tires like you have there. I'd say max of 215, but it's your car, so hey.

I ran 225 without any problems, but it was on an 8" wheel.
