Anyone running 235 45 17s on Subzeros?

I just ordered 235 45 17s Falken Ziexs for my 17x7.5 Subzeros.
Will I have any rubbing issues with this tire and wheel combo?
I have an 02 WRX sedan with Progress Springs on stock struts. I appreciate any insights. Thanks

Really? How hard is it to roll the fenders on a 02 sedan? Did you do yours yourself? I have actually rolled the rear fenders on my Taurus SHO before and it was a PITA since the body panels are thick steel. The WRX seems thin though. Thanks for the info.

rolling the rear fenders was easy enuf
just be very careful.. i had a friend do it with an actual fender roller thing and he cracked my paint a bit haha... didn't heat it up enuf.
some ppl use the good old fashioned baseball bat method... and i hear that works well too...
good luck!
