    I have 8.5 wide 20s on mine, with King super lows.

    It dose scrape front and rear a little bit over big bumps, but when i tow my kart trailer, the rear is pretty bad. Im getting my gaurds done tomorrow so will let you no how i go, should make all the difference though as its only just touching.

    well got my gaurds done yeterday and drove home seeking every little bump in the road i used to purposely avoid, couldnt get it to rub once. So i couldnt be happier, the real test will come next week with a heavy trailer on though.

    My tyers are 245/35 so im sure if you used 225s, or even just got a wide tyre but with only a 30 profile it might not rub?
    I specificly wanted a 245/35 as i prefer to be able to see a bit of rubber, not a fan of big wheels then a thin licorice strip tyre around the outside.

    I've got 245/35's aswell and they did rub a bit. i got my gaurds rolled and they are sweet now, no rubbing at all. But i do have a set of kings supalows to go in hopefully by the end of this week so ill let you know how i go. 225's would piss it in, i've seen it done, but like JB3 i like the 'thickerness' of the 245.
