Anyone else have any input? I am thinking about 225/45/17 with ET45 wheels. Do you think I will rub? :?

Yes you will rub on the rear bumper tabs just.
Easy to sort so not really an issue.

Well I'm up to 245/45's now, my arches are cut right back but the bumper brackets goin to need a little more. I know I'm only using 16's but it's also lowish.

If you don't mind modding the arches a little and know they are not made a filler I can't see you having any problems.
