max wheel fitment

ok, so now that i have some money i'm planning on finally getting some better tires and rims. i'm planning on axis maglites because they seem to be about 4 pounds lighter per wheel than most. also i found a deal for $1150 for a set with 225/45/17 tires. i really wanted somthing bigger than a 205/40 and i don't plan on slammin it any time soon (even more cash i don't have). anyway, has anyone tried this? i know it will fit in the wheel well (only an extra inch and a half in diameter) but what about rubbing on the suspension? i'm concerned that there might not be enough clearance?<P>these are the tire and rim diameters if anyone wants to know<BR>225/45/17 - 24.97"<BR>205/40/17 - 23.45"<BR>185/65/14 - 23.47"<P>w/s/r<BR>w*s*2+r = diameter (note wheel width must be in inches, not in mm)
