Similar to the problem I'm having, but on the stock suspension. I had a set of 17x8 et48 Rota G-Force and I put on 225/55/17 Nokian snow tires. When I test fit them the sidewall was just barely rubbing. Kind of surprising because I thought 225/55/17 was a pretty common size on the SG. Maybe the camber is off too much in the rear, but the tires that came on it are evenly worn.
