If you look at these Graffiti pics of mine, this was the lowest i went. My offset was the same spec as above. 8.5j 45 ET. i did have 235 tyres on though and it only rubbed weirdly on the drivers side rear.  :chicken: but i did have 3 degree of camber on the front with the clubsports. I reckon you will get a bit of chafe even with 225.  :driver:
