I'm running 225/50/15 on my MS-01R which are +35 and I'm having issues with rubbing in the back (on coilovers!). I don't see how they would fit without some spacers and even then you could have issues rubbing on the fenders. The fronts have more room but I had to roll my fenders.

Although hppwdn was able to run 245/45/17 with +40: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3//viewtopic.p ... 7&p=575935

I have D2s on mine, same thing as KSports. I had no issues with my 225/50/15 tires. To fit my 245/45/17s I have to preload the springs to make them clear because the of the high offset of my rim combined with a wide and high diameter tire.

run 245/45/17s on mine +40 offset if I remember. Didn't have to roll the fenders or use spacers, but it does require coilovers and some precision fitment. On my 15" rims I ran a 225/50/15 and that fit on regular tokico blues. You shouldn't need spacers or fender rolling unless the rims have some exotic offset.

With the 245/45/17s on a 17x7.5 et40 rim they sit about as perfectly lined up with the fender as I could wish for. Not sure if you'd want to run a tire that wide though, I did it for the 350whp plus track runs. It's a bit overkill for an N/A ZE
