iv got 20's on mine with 225/35's on the front and lowered, if you can stretch a tire it will be alright, as for top of the strut elbow joint the clearance wouldnt be any more than a 3mm gap, but doesnt cause any problems. just make sure if its lowered the suspension is tight otherwise when the wheels are turned under hard cornering or similair the tire will hit... flaring or wide body fenders will fix the problem but as said above it is a bit of stuffing around.
