2. When I had some 17x7.5 on my car I ran 225/45/17. They fit pretty well on the car with stock suspension.

cool, well i tried it on my lil bro S14 w/ Z32 brakes last night it didn't clear the brake, looks like it need a 5 mm spacer, I'll work on that later. I'm collecting parts for 5 lugs and Z brakes swap all around. ( yes it's a 5 lugs 17 by 7.5 +45 I don't know much about the offset bad, good?? but i got all w/ decent tyres for 400.)
anything on the turbo??

yeah you need spacers for sure for z brakes...

+45 is about as horrible as you can get in a 7.5 width wheel...there really isn't much worse out there for flushness...you need like 25mm spacers at least...

Your turbo is a T25 (if it is from a stock SR)
