The 225/45-17 is the same diameter as the stock wheel. I don't know why Tri-Point would say they are taller unless he was thinking of 245/45-17's.

Yeah, he might have been talking about with my tire width. I run 235's in the front.

does anyone know if rolling on a +27 front and +35 rear offset will look messed up? or if it will cause any problems?

I have your answer. I have an R1 with 17x8 front with +41 mm offset runing 235/45 and 17x9 rear with +44 mm offset runing 255/40 and Racing Beat springs with the stock Bilstein shocks.

Looks awesome and ZERO RUBBING ANYWHERE, NADA, ZIPPO, NONE.

2 of my friends, one with Ground Control and the other with Tein, both coil overs say my car feels more planted on the road.

I can only tell you you will love the ride.

For about $250 you can't go wrong.

I recall reading one time that anything less thean +39 mm offset and 45 sidewall on 17 wheels would hit the fender lip, the inner well or the Stock coils.
