Thanks guys.
Why do you HAVE to run 225's? If you're running these extended lca's, I'm assuming you're going to have quite a bit of negative camber. At that point there's no real reason to me to be running such a wide tire.
Step it down to a 215/35 or 215/40.

If it were me, I'd go function over hotboi, and run a 17x8. More inside clearance and still fit a 225/45 or 235/40

Many ways to fix all of that. Run a sway bar with more clearance. Run a tension arm with more clearance or a one piece tension/lca. Run the caster further forward so that the wheel/tire clears the firewall at lock. I've ran 17x10's up front with lots of angle without clearance issues.
I currently run a 17x9-3 up front with 215/40 and over 60 degrees of lock and don't hit on anything.
