It's hard to be sure because of all the different suspensions at all the different ride heights, and all the different offsets of wheels.
Victor reports from the drive to Expo earlier today that he ran across someone with 225-45-16 Hankooks at all corners, and no problems at all.
But...it depends....

It depends on the tire, wheel width, offset, amout of lowering, camber, etc.
I'm running Hankook 225/45/16's up front on my ITR on 8" wide wheels, 50mm offset. I'm also running a little more camber than normal (close to 3 degrees). I've got plenty of room up front for more tire. With a lower wheel offset or less camber it will get more snug on the outer edge. I also rolled the inner fender tab for additional clearance.
Rear is much more snug, but I'm running same wheels, plus 8mm spacer, and <1 degree negative camber. It's very close with the rear fenders rolled. Even required a little bumper trimming on the inside where it mounts to the body.
From my calculations every degree of camber you add or subtract you gain or lose .2 inches of clearance. So with more camber in the rear you could probably get away with the 225's at least in a Hankook.
