Rather than continue to guess, test fitting is happening later.

I've found this excel sheet useful when looking at different sizing.
Quite a bit of good info on there

You just change your info for stock and what you want and it gives you information about the ride height etc...great for upsizing your rim but getting info for the smallest change in overall diameter

A mate runs 225s on 17x8.5 +45 rims on his GC8. The rear guards are rolled but due to him sporting neutral to positive camber they do scrub, neg camber should sort it though.

this may help teejay

scrubs like an absolute bitch on the front but with more camber it would probably be okay

18x8.5 +44

Oz Racing = Italian designed and manufactured/used for F1/Quality = Not especially cheap.

That said, you should definitely get some 19 x 8 Ultraleggera's and powdercoat them charcoal..

Charcole but that looks neat

In fact OZ rims are pretty well priced at the moment from Wheels World...for a quality lightweight, strong rim...eg Ultraleggera (as in pic below)...also plenty of other designs available in OZ and OZ Racing....
