height, tire size, offset, wheel size... all that has to be factored in.

my old konig absolutes (for sale) are 7.5 i believe....... i actually thing that the tire themselves measured 8.5 (224/45) et 40...... never had an issue.

With 225/45 tires you'll be fine up front...

I'd be more concerned with the rear, I'm lowered on Goldlines and I can't run 1/2" hub spacers in the rear with a 40 offset wheel and 225/45 tires.

that's likely due to the fact that your 1/2" spacer is effectively making your offset around 28.

Yeah, didn't think about that before I jumped on a deal for them lol. Only scrubbed over decent bumps before I took them off, loved the stance.

Roll and pull will solve that

Never really gave that thought, just put the spacers back in the box lol

It seemed to be hitting closer to where the door meets the quarter, do you think it would be possible to roll that enough to fit?

I run 17x8 with a +35 and the baer brakes (which use a Jeffie like spacer for the calipers) and I have minimal rubbing with 245s
