Widest tyres that will fit on stock MPS3 Gen 1 rims?

[fuz]

Hi everyone, i currently have 215/45/R18 on my MPS3 Gen1. I want to go to 225/40/R18 but the tyre shop guy reckons the rubber may scrub the strut tower inside. Anyone running this size without issue?

Cheers, Fuz

running 225/45 atm... no issues here...
know people who have run 235/40 had occasional issue

I Don't believe they will scrub the strut tower, howeever that tyre size is not legal on a 7 "wide standard mps rim I run that same size tyre on 8 "rims without a problem, on a 7"rim there is a danger of the tyre rolling under the rim on hard cornering .

I think if you go 225/45/18 its legal and mine doesn't scrub i got stock height atm, apparently with people in the back and nice dips in the road you may get them to scrub lol.

As above, 225/45 is legal across the board, 225/40 is on only a few selected tyres (I think RE001 is one of those).

Been running 225/45 for 42000km now, no issues other than the occasional scrub on the back in the first 10000km when going over very large bumps, nothing to worry about.

225 are the max on 7" rims Col that's why I went to 8" rims for my 235's.
