I was Thinkin the same, more contact, 225 prob as wide as ud go yeah?

I have 235 on my 9 j's possibly too wide tho, works for me tho

i"ve 235 40 18 on my fronts and they work a treat with just a little bit of stretch on 9:5 rims...
so if your running 17 i would go for 225 45 would have the same affect just a nice little stretch and plenty of tyre on the road most importantly

dont forget to add on an extra 10mm for the r888s, ie a 225 r888 is closer to width of a 235 standard tyre :)

Why are you stretching a r888?the sidewalls on them are fairly solid so no need to stretch them surely going for a bigger size would be better more contact patch and as mentioned by will_c r888s are wider than your standard tyre
