I'm planning on doing a deal on some wheels. They are fitted with 225/45/17 tyres.
I know my car is low so can I expect some rubbing? I had 215's on the bullion & had no issues with those.

My S70 T5 rubbed the arch liners on 225 wheels, only on full lock though. That was standard suspension/ride height
My C70 is very low, and has 235/35/18s, but doesn't rub since I fitted 15mm spacers.
What size are you currently running?
Those tyres are quite large and running low you may have issues with the arches.
When I was running that tyre on 7.5Jwheels, et43 there was a bit of rubbing on the inner edge but was doing no harm, just cleaning the arch liners if anything
Put all your measurements through here...

Oh, plus a glorious (but dead) 01 Alfa 166 V6 and a 05 Liquid Yellow Clio 182.
Were the spacers dear Steve? I've seen some 16mm hubicentric for £50 a pair but I know I'd want 20mm on the rears then. Lol
I can cope with a bit of rubbing until I can afford the spacers.
Just fed up of the comets as its my second v70 on them. Want to make it look mine now.

Fat wheel weight on the inner rim and too soft suspension Sideways?

Got an old discovery now.
The wheels are off a p1 platform car so should be the correct offset. They are the same wheels as you took off yours before you fitted the twists Dave.
I can live with a bit of rubbing but eventually I would put spacers on it anyway. The look of the tyre won't bother me, if anything it will make it more comfy which will be a plus in my book...

Ah, Propus, good choice
Yeah they'll be fine with +43offset, just a small amount of rubbing on full lock but nothing that will be harmful.
Fitting some spacers on the front will give you more steering lock too potentially.
