8.5 is a bit wide for the 225, go with a 235 if you can or get a 18x8 set of wheels.

Default It's being run - scoll down through the pages here - you'll see what others are running

Yes 8.5" rims will lead to the rims sticking out more than the tire - making it easy to scrape the wheels. Common problem on 17" rims too.

But if you know how to drive a lowered car you will not go near any curbs.

I run 225/40/18 on 18x8.5 and the car looks awesome. Perfect with that suspension as well

Default Yo.. haha.. Don't worry... They will be fine.... PS.... Just stay away from curbs.. HAHA

Don't tell me you're having doubts...

No worries man... 225 is fine and FYI... all the BBS wheels on this forum that are 18" are 8.5 except for the RX wheel.... and most of them are running 225/40/18

I'll email you later...
