same with me 205/50/15 on neuspeed race springs so like 2" down and no problems

225 is only 20mm wider and the sidewall should be a bit bigger,

im trying to say it should be good if not let me take those A032Rs off your hands

Well...depending on your alignment they probably will rub.

The overall diameter is 23.9" on that setup. Stock setup with 185-65-14's overall diameter is 23.5.

You gotta think about how wide that tire is to, 225 is almost 9 inches wide.

It may work but it's definately not an ideal setup in my opinion. I don't think you're gonna like the way is handles either.

You may just have to try it out and see what you think.

They are actually for sale in classifieds. Brand new H series but I think I need S series for auto-x.

I doubt it, there are a couple of guys around here that have been using 225/50/15 Victoracers on blades for the last 2 seasons.

Because I am not made of money and those are the wheels I have laying around.

I get a little rub when my wheel is full cranked on my 205's with a 1.75 drop. It's only once and a while at full crank though.

It also depends on how low your 'drop' is: - standard ride height will probably be okay - I doubt anything more than a 1.5 inch drop will clear the fender lip.

Mounted what?

These are brand new unmounted.

Don't jump to conclusions.
