Even if they were 225/45/17 that wound be bigger than 215/40/17 so would have had even less room. I know ben couldnt get them on so had to swap to 40 profile. Was yours on Konis or coilovers Gracey?

This size works with SPAX struts as had it myself, could not even get little finger between spring cup and tyre but did not touch, just.
