thanks lawaia,
i think this is the best reference here for people with questions of wheel fitment and a suspension drop.

wheel model fitment tire brand kind of drop rub or not notes
volk III 18x8 +41 nitto 225/40/18 h&r springs yes tab trimed
euroline ls 19x8 +49 nitto 225/35/19 h&r springs no tab trimed
zauber gettin 18x7.5 +51 dunlop 225/40/18 tein ss 2" no tab trimed
mahdi caesar 19x8 +45 pirelli 215/35/19 tein ss 2.5" no fender rolled
oz superleggra 19x8 +40 dunlop 225/35/19 tein ss 3" yes fender rolled
euroline kh 19x8 +45 dunlop 225/35/19 tein ss 3" yes only with R pass.
weds wal 18x7.5 +38 dunlop 225/40/18 tein ss 3" yes only with R pass.
rays g-game 19x8 +48 falken 225/35/19 tein ss 3" no stretch look tire
euroline sl 19x8/9 +45 dunlop 225/35/19 tein ss 3" no stretch w.camber
at first i trimmed a small portion of my tab, but as i moved on with more aggressive fitment i trimmed more and bought a roller tool for the fender, tires play a factor too, i never used 235, i always used 225, the one time i used 215 i could get 45 to fit with no rubbing because of the skinny tire. the shape of the falken st115 is naturally stretch look it gives you more room to play with on the offset. my current setup is 19x8 and 19x9, but be ready to change tires often because i cambered my rim to tuck. hope this guide work for you guys to choose wheel.

Not exactly. Regardless of tire brand, each has it's own unique shoulder design which will affect fitment; some are squared off while others are a bit rounded. So not all 225's, or any other size for that matter are made equal.
