is this for snow tires im assuming? there going to be narrow and wayyy tall, but they should fit presuming your not slammed. otherwise since there so tall you may run into some problems.

if for some weird reason there not for snow tires, then you need to reconsider your tire choice.....

I like this post. Not much taller in diameter. 0.6in in total. 225/45 is a closer size though

So what have you? Winter or not?

Seems ok. Ur speedometer will read about 2% too slow. Overall diameter about 1/2inch large, sidewall height half that...I say go for it. Your hellaflush friends throw 225s on 10" wide wheels, so if they do it, it must be safe right?
