Default anybody run 225/45/17 on a saff?

just about to go and try some new tyres, but the paradas don't come in many sizes,i'm fairly sure they do 225/45 but not a 225/40 so i need to have a look and see if they look ok

I tried the 45 profile and it rubs on the bottom of the spring platform, went back to 40 profile.

I am pretty sure a 45 profile in 17's will be touching the spring cups as a mate had this issue.

I fitted 235/40/17's on the back of mine and they fit with out any problems.

i currently run 245/35/17's and they are fine........hadn't considered that they would rub the spring platform

i want paradas because they were great on my last saff,but in 17" i think i can only have 205 or 215 with a 40 profile for both???? i'd really like a 225 or bigger but don't think they do them
