225s on 17s
 
so, I presume 100s have fitted 225s on the original 17" wheels....I don't have to roll my guards, do I?

Why do you want to have more rubber on same rims? You'll have more flex and you'll lose steering precision.

That is if he is using the stock wheels
A wider 17s wheel will improve handling and steering

Yes, that's why I am asking. He said to fit them on the original 17" wheels.

I have done this, MPS4, works a treat. You will lose a little steering feel, but on the road who cares. On the track it is noticeable though...

I also have 225/45-17 on the stock rim. It gives better traction and softer ride than the stock tires. I can't tell much difference in steering for street driving. It takes more power to slide and I prefer that way especially with a supercharger. It is safer.

Thanks everyone.

Correct. The car works very well on 225 section tires.

Oh crap! Did I lose my steering? Where is it now?

You speak like Niki Lauda, I hope you drive like him ;) I don't
