Wagon or sedan? Wagon will need rear fenders rolled with that combo ~ then, no worries. If you do have a wagon, feast your eyes on this!

if u run 225 on a 7.5" 48et setup and full suspension you can tune ur ride height so that you wont rub. i have 225's on sti wheels on my wagon and they rub if u slam it, so its all about the height. if you have a sedan, then get outa here, get some 17x8 with 235/40/17 hehe
