all depends on how low you are, and if you are going for that stretched look

From what you are asking, both the 225 and 215 will "fit". But a 1.5-3 inch drop will definitely need a 215, shit maybe even a 205 up front if you drop it 3 inches.
I've got a 205/40 up front on those wheel specs. no rubbing

Not the best but you see how they fit. As far as performance I can't really say, I don't track the car. It's just my daily
