On track i've been using 225/45R16, on 8x16 et32, R888 and V70. My arches have been rolled though.

I suspect on et25 you'd have rubbing issues, particularly on the fronts.

I have a pair on et28 which i hope to use on the back without trouble.

Some manufacturers tyres are a different size to the one written on the tyre wall, not too sure why. My Avon ZV5 205-50-15s are actually 214 mm wide according to Avon themselves.
