new mittens for my kitten

just got my new wheels for the kinky kitty and staying in theme they are made by panther.
now, i plan to go with a 45 series tire to keep speedo accurate but was wondering what size tires can the pt handle? (without therubbing problems)
they are 17 inch and thinking 225/45s but not bought them yet.
there will be the grand debut of these in bama in april as it still a little cold here.

Are your wheel wider than stock--like 8 inches? that's what mine are and I'm running 225/45's...no problems at all and I'm also lowered 1.5 in front and 2 in the rear.

the rims are 17x7.5 and says they will fit fine with no problems.i will be getting a lowering kit in near future so will more likely go with 225/45s. i was just wondering what maximum size would work without causing problems if used without a lowering kit.
thanks for reply and maybe,hopefully get to meet down the road.

 The 225/45s look awesome on the PTC. Do wonders for the stance especially after a casual drop. I have heard of people doing 18-20's. there is room to play with but depends on what you want. I don't want to sacrifice too much ride quality and want good handling. I think the set up I have is a good combo. Watch the wear on your tires. If you get a lot of cupping it maybe the shocks and struts. I had this problem and couldn't rotate the tires enough. Went searching and found eibachs and tokicos on craigslist for $200 plus shipping from a guy that used them for about 4k miles then decided to return to stock for trade-in.
I may be on the left-coast, but that's north-left, and you're from the wrong Portland.
At least you have a lot of greenery there like we do here.

i am thinking of going with the btg lowering springs cause i want to keep the rake instead of flattening out the car.i like the more aggressive old-school look. that will be summer project if i do. i want to check out ride and handling with new tires before lowering,so if anyone has had issues with btg springs i would appreciate input on this kit.
