I'm starting to think 225 series tires are too big for the wheel well of a c900. I don't think you can get the full travel of the suspension b/c of the outside lip of the fenderwell. I'm using a 7.5" wide rim that has a 40mm offset in the front and a 33mm offset in the rear. Your setup is a 7" wide rim w/ 33mm offsets all around, right? That would mean you have the same tire centering in the rear as me, but in the front you would have 0.25 more inches sticking out of the fenderwell. What are the specs on your wheel alignment? I know you have 35 series profile tire but I would surely think your tire would be rubbing on the outside lip on hard cornering or big bumps. I have 40 series profile tires which are 0.44 inches higher off the rim and I think I'm getting a very small amout of rubbing on hard corners w/ negative 0.9 degree camber. I'm not sure yet; I just noticed some markings on the inside outer lip (maybe it was there before, not sure).
I'm wondering if I step down to a 35 series tires that would insure clearance(I'll miss the half inch of added ride height). It's hard to guess the clearance w/ the caster being an important component. I might take my springs off and lower the jack to see if it is hitting.
