What 225/255 summer performance tire have:

- Great Overall performance (Wet/Dry)
- Decent tread life (So you are not replacing the tires every year)

These questions would seem important for the people who are:
- Worried about lowered 1 series and possible clearance issues on the 225/255's
- Compromise between what is more important (Performance, clearance, DW, tread life)

I am going to be running 18" CS7's (45/48 offset) with KW C/O's and I am personally concerned about clearance running 225's/255's and reports toward rubbing.
Im also concercned about the 255 in the back, im gooing to buy g-force sort comp2 and in all the reviews they say the tire sits fat, and is wider than ther the same width...

What would be the worst case if the tire rubbed? Rolling a little bit the rear fenders would make it OK? I've even heard of people running 265īs on the stock rims in this forum, so idk...
