Uhmm, it depends how low you are. I know my car has 1.5" drop all around on the Espelir lowering springs. On my 17x9 +45s, I have 245/40s up front and 255/40s in the rear. I rolled my fenders a decent amount, and I don't get any rub at all. I did need to relocate the rear bumper tab though.

I kept the 245/40 front and 255/40 rear to keep the staggered fitment Honda intended for the car. As for easier, probably 235/40 and they'd look meatier than a 225/45 from what I understand. But for me, 245/40 and 255/40 looks really good/meaty but will require a bit more fender work, once again depending on how low you are.

Can I run 255 all around with 17x9 +45 with no rubbing with these wheels? Front fenders have been rolled and tabs relocated. Thank you in advance. Ride height is stock and I may lower a little once I get coilovers.

Painted the axle nuts and the calipers black to blend a little better!
