Will 225/45 tires fit?

The wheels are 18x7.5 RSe52 with +45mm offset. The car is an F55 S on factory suspension. I have no plans to lower the car. Does anyone know if 225/45 will fit ok? Can I go even taller?

Thanks!

They'll be tight on their outer edges on the rear axle, at about 10 and 2 o'clock. If they contact the liner on the outer edge of the rear wheel well, the interference will be so slight as to be "self adjusting" (the liner will quickly erode a small amount).

I run 225/45-17 on 17x8 +45.

Cheers,

Charlie
