Just had it out, Went about 2 miles and ended up coming home.

Tyres are too big and scrubbing like a bitch. Got 225-45-17 on at the minute which are catching on the inner arches at the front (Not a problem, Just remove them altogether) But on the rears its carching on the rear bumper screw and the inner arch!

Just thinking of going for either 205-45-17 or to be safe and go for 205-40-17 now!

Yeah the tyres look far too wide in those pics.

Skinnier tyres and it will look spot on.

Just trying to work out the best size to go for.

Tied up between 205 40 17 and 215 40 17. Don't want to end up putting a slightly stretched tyre on, Had trouble with these before!
