I always liked those on the Fiesta st. That is one reason I like the new dekagram so much 16x8 this great style and real light weight (14.5 lbs). I like that style on your car let me give you some advice and get some swift spec r springs and thank me later lol. Unless of course you wanna get more serious and go coilovers. If just springs then def the swifts.

That is one T-A-L-L tire, but if you can keep it from rubbing, will be GREAT!
They are only .4” taller than my 215/45/17 Super Sports currently. I am worried about the extra width from the wider wheels. But we will see. I don’t know as much as about wheels and tires as I would like. I don’t like the look of a tire being stretched to fit a wheel. Discount Tire told me it could be a month or two befor the wheels come in anyways. I guess they are back order.

I'd actually be somewhat surprised if your 215/45 didn't rub...unless maybe your roads are fairly flat? But a 225/45/17 will likely rub regardless. Especially on an 8 inch wheel...

Sooooooooooo, the 225/45/17 are rubbing >.< They are only rubbing when the front end compresses all the way. Looks like the fendors are rubbing right where the tread meets the side wall. So I am going to pull them off and move back to the 215/45/17. That size on the stock wheel had zero rubbing. So I am hoping I get the same results on the 8" wheel.
