Here are some pics of my Faulken Azenis 225/45/17. I've only had them a month, and 2 of those weeks were spent in the shop for an unrelated problem, so I don't have a lot of driving time on them yet. Plus the fact my car isn't past the break in period yet, so I can't autocross yet. Therefore, I can't really comment on the handling as I still have to baby the car (mostly ). As for rubbing, it's minor.

I don't have 225's but I am running 215/45R17s Yokahamas on 17x7 wheels. I like the aggressive look and they fill up the arches really well. I have some rub when the car is loaded (3 or more passengers or a bunch of stuff in the boot).
