nO WORRIEs!!!
I have 2 sets of wheels
Both same size 18x7.5 but 2 diff offset +43 (gramlights 57 max TA wrapped in dunlop sp sport maxxx 225/40/18) and +50 (CE28N wrapped in Toyo T1R 225/40/18).
Without changing damper setting on my coilovers by driving the car and swapping tyres with same tyre pressure they both ride differently, the toyo more uncomfortable than the T1R but also could be due to the fact that CE28N are lighter.

20 i think to be safe you'd need to run 30 or 35profile but might be a close to whether you need to roll your guards or not.
Those sizes you'll need to ask the baller euro owners.
40 possible but alot of negative camber + rolling of both front and rear guards.
and also your speedo will be out of whack coz the rolling diameter is larger than stock. So prob have to get it re-calibrated or something. 35 profile on 19s isnt to bad....consider it a massage

Has anyone done it before? i havent heard of anyone gettin their speedo re-calibrated. They just go with bigger tyre and wheels and guess match their speed with other cars around them....LOL
with the correct profile tyre, theres no need to recalibrate the speedo,
ie if you run a 225 30 20, its only about 11mm bigger. RTA gives you 15mm so thats fine and perfectly LEGAL in that area...But its the load rating you gotta watch out for, thats the other part of the problem(not to mention rim width as well)...
For better comfort and looks, a 225 35 20 would be better, but this will throw the speedo out, and may also cause rubbing, however you could opt for a 235 30 20, this is wider and also higher so it will give a better ride. From memory it borders on the 15mm( i think its 16.? to be exact), but depends on your calculator so it should be fine. It is usually more expensive(from other places) though as its not as common as a 225 30 20.

On a side note....has anyone who has replaced their standard 17 inch tire size with say like a 225 35? This size is more common then what honda fitted out the lux with and is 20 bucks cheaper or more in some cases.
Any adverse effects on steering, handling etc etc?

Do you mean 235/45/17?That's the size that Commodores and Falcons use.This size is more commonly used and therefore cheaper.Not sure how you'd go with this size on the Euro as far as rolling diameter goes.PM Taleb above,he'd know.
