If I use h&r springs, gr2 struts, and run 225/45/r17 on a bh??

I have the same setup on my BD and 225 was a bit too much. Filled out the wheel wells very, very nicely but rubbed on bumps and at full lock.

Not sure about BH chassis though.

Roll and fare will be what you have to do, but after it is done it looks and feels great!

It really depends on the offset of your wheels. I'm not sure on a bh, I think they have just a bit more room than 2nd gens. In my BD I have H&R springs with GR2 struts with 235/40/17 Azenis but my offset is 42 with no rubbing (extremely close to strut and fender though) and I use to rub with outback rims and 205/55/16.

I think you'll be right with 17's, a couple of wheels ago I had 225/45/18's and they just rubbed with a couple of people in the back (lowered on Bilstein's with Whiteline springs).

What's the offset? That would really be the difference maker. I think I have 225 width on my bd, but I also think I'm at about a 38offset on 17x7.5 and sti struts and I clear fine. The struts might help you some, mine gave extra clearance, however I don't have firsthand experiance with those struts or a bh.
