You didn't say what the model year if your car is or what the offset of the wheels is. Each of these will make a difference in fitment.

it is possible to clear the lip by cutting the lip off. The other way is by getting a thinner brake rotor, but triming the lip is the easiest and most inexpensive way. Good luck!

What is the offset of the rims? How wide are they? A 225 tire should easily fit if the offset is about 40 to 42 mm.

Rim offset can pose a problem...but so can saggy springs. Mine wouldn't fit because of that problem.

I hate it when my rims sag...
