I checked the whole topic before submitting a post.
And from that picture I can not tell what additional 4mm would do/look like.

Only problem with a 225 is that it's a little narrow for that tire so you might lose the sidewall protection so be careful against the curbs. If you're in the market for new tires, I would suggest with going a RS3 or Star Spec which is known to sit wider than other brands so a 225 RS3 would be almost as wide as 235 as some other brands.
Thank you very much.
I'll buy new tires for sure. You mean Hankook R-S3 or Cooper RS3?
So the rim won't stick out the front side panel? My biggest concern besides rubbing.
