Default Biting the Bullet :(

I have tried many avenues and realized my 235/45/17 tires are not going to fit in the front without rubbing. I have rolled my fenders and it still rubs when I dig into corners. Its not a big deal but whatever. I just want to know that the 225 will not rub either. It sucks too because I cut the fender liner for no reason.

I plan on selling my 235/45R/17 tires. Check the classifieds for details and all that.

SERIOUSLY... if I get the OEM size tires... will I still rub under heavy cornering? I cant have that!

yeah, you have to lower the side wall, some so the tire radius is about the same size as 225/45/17

225/45ZR17 will not rub at all. and the 40 profile on the 235 will solve your problem.
