yeah a 225/45/17 will rub on an 7.5 or 8 inch wheel. i'm on 17x8 tsw hockenheim r's with kyb agx/ eibach sportline and a 225/45/17 potenza re-730, and i get rubbing every so often.

well you should be using 225/40/17
i'm using 225/45/16 and never get any rub.
215/40/17 or 225/40/17 would be ideal for a 5th gen.

Re: tire size (BB1)

the re730's don't come in a 225/40/17 or else they would be on the car. but i figured, why have 8 inches of wheel if you don't use it all. love those 6 grand drop and go's.
