235/45R17 on Clio RS '12

[NISMO1968]

Hey! I have a leftover tires from my just sold Evo, summer and winter sets, both brand-new. There's very low chances I'll sell them back for a price, so I'm thinking about putting them on Clio RS. I run 225/45R17 AD08R now as a summer setup, question... Would 235/45R17 Toyo R888R fit?

Thanks!

It’ll fit, but is considerably bigger than standard and will likely scrub depending on your setup

"Fit" and "scrub" don't mix within the same sentence LOL

I see... I have stock suspension. Is there anything I'll need to do to avoid scrubbing? Spacers, aggressive camber etc?

225/45/17 vs 235/45/17

I appreciate! Yeah, I did this math... Was asking more about somebody actually running this setup in the field

I’ve run 235/40/17 slicks with no probs

These are actually SMALLER than stock...

If you’re measuring height, yeah. My point being that 235 width isn’t necessarily a restriction.

Anyway, I’ll pipe down as I get the impression my responses aren’t helping.

Dude they are SUPER-helpful! I really appreciate your feedback. Sorry if I sounded rude or whatever, I didn't mean it. I apologize!
