They will fit but wont come without issues. Unfortunately it seems 225's on lowered cars in particular seem to rub away at the wheel arches. If the car isnt lowered you may get away with it.

[quote=abdul;441169]Lowered with bc racing coilovers[/quote] You might be lucky, some get away with it. Personally however I would either stick to 205's or get some 215's. Are you currently on 40 or 45 profile tyres? What is the arch clearance like?

99% they will rub the arch liners. my car has volans, 225/45/17 with -40mm lowering. rubbed the arch liners to death.
