245 no rub?
 
hey all. is anyone running 245 wide tires without rolling their fenders? For all you tech gurus out there the exact size would be 245/40/18 on a 18X8.5 rim with a 44mm offset. any info would be great. if its gonna be an issue ill probably just run 235 instead. thanks

245/40R18 is too tall. Guaranteed rub. You want to keep your tires to 25.1" tall or less.

I run 245/40-18 on my 18x 8 wheels. No issues, my car is low. I think the tire choice has a lot to do with it, the Falken ZE512 fits good.

thanks guys. i think i will probably go with 235/40/18 just to avoid any possible issues. thanks for the info and help.

True, Matt's got 245/45s, but I always assume people are getting a wider tire model when they ask about rubbing issues. Your offset is good though, so they might fit.
