I have 225's on my 8.5" ROTA and they're fine. Having said that, John did tell me that Yokohamas seems to have a bit of extra meat on the sidewall as mine don't look as stretched as JRecardos. He'd have to be unlucky (or drive like a dick) to cop a canary though. It's usually when the rims hang outside the guards that grabs a cops attention.

JRecardo - if you can afford it, perhaps buy a new rim and once you have some spare cash, chuck a tyre on the damaged one and keep it as an emergency spare at home. I wish I did this after getting a tech screw in one of my tyres last week. Would have been much easier to get a ride home, grab and change a single wheel over instead of reverting all four corners back to stock.

The space saver becomes useless once you go aftermarket rims...
