You will definitely have to cut the tabs and roll your fenders.

If the wheel had a higher offset like 50+ it would help a little more as well.

With that wide of wheel and low(ish) offset you will most likely have to roll your fenders otherwise you'll be rubbing. I know there are a few members rolling on wheels that wide with even more aggressive offsets, but I'm pretty sure they're tuckin' the wheels with their drop.

225 on a 8.5 tire would be more of a strech than 8 no?

if anything 235 would still be ok, lil more cusion, and for sure either way u gotta roll ur fenders.

225-40-18 all around and rolled rear fenders will work... fronts should too. not sure what your personal preference is but you may even consider 215-40-18 up front for more clearance

225 on a 8.5" is not even a stretch, imo the only reason a 235 should be on this car is if its on a 10" wheel, they just look too bulky.

not unless you ride high.... which would suck. or if you ran 215-40's or smaller all around, which would also be weird.

cut & roll aint that bad, just do it esp. if you think the wheels youre looking at are worth it
