IMHO.... DON'T go 225's, the chassis will become leaden footed... You're better off buying a high quality, really grippy set of Toyo T1R's (or similar) at 205/55/Zr15's for the Fuchs.

You'll have superb mechanical grip and progressive handling... It'll be the better chassis set-up for steering and handling. 225's will blunt the feel... and make it feel leaden footed.

Trust me......
