The 225x50x17 are a bit taller profile than the 225x45x17 and hence closer to the stock 225x45x18 in terms of overal wheel/tire diameter which leads to similar MPH speedometer reading.
This is much in the way that 255x40x18 are close to stock 225x45x18.
Keep in mind that the second number is a profile (width/height ratio) and hence the need for a tire ratio calculator to make a fair comparison.

I want an aggressive fit, without pulling fenders. I don't mind rolling them. Let me know if it will fit. I have looked at the aggressive thread, but there are so many pages and being in Iraq with shitty internet doesn't help. ha
front 18x9.5 + 30 or +35 235/40/18 rear18x10 +40 or +25 with 245/40/18 on tanabe nf210 springs?
or
18x9.5 +25 on lets say a 255/40/18 again with tanabe nf210 which has about a 1.2-1.5 in drop. I can't remember my measurements.

Trevors you can run the first setup 9.5 +30/35 (I'd suggest a 245/40) and 10+40 fine (265/35). The 10+25 will need a pull even with 245/40. 9.5 +25 is pushing it but could probably be run in the rear with a 255/40. You would need to trim the plastic in the rear fenders.

Ok great, my next question is, with the first set up 9.5 +30 and 10+40, would that be more flush than the 9.5 +25? I know everyone has different opinions on that, but i can't seem to find to reasonable pics to help my situation. I want to push my wheel and tire to the limit without pulling the fenders.

Flush depends on camber. http://www.flickr.com/photos/j863562...7623744260352/ That's 9.5 +28 with 245/40/18 in the rear and 9.5 +38 with 245/40/18 in the front. Approximately -2.2 camber. There are a couple older pictures where it is +33 in the rear and +38 in the front also. edit: I'm currently running +33F/+28R. Maybe I'll get some new pictures soon. Also contemplating a switch to 265/35s all around.

otherwise im gonna have to dump some money into adjustable shocks to use with the springs :/ (coilovers will make me broke)
are there any ways to fix the speedo (for cheap) when going 245/40 cause thats -8% on the speedo which is A LOT

For those who have Changed Wheel Rim Size (from 18") to RX-8 R3 19", or whatever size, you should have your PCM (ECU) Re-Calibrated, which will correct your Speedometer Reading among other things.
These are the Details..
