235/45/18 Tires. Anyone try these for fitment?

[Switchblind360]

I just did a suspension swap, and now my 255/40/18 Dunlops are WAY too wide to fit up inside my wheel wells.

Since I live in an area with roads that are filled with potholes, bumps, uneven pavement, etc. I was thinking of trying a plus size aspect ratio tire to smooth out the ride and help add some cushion to my rims.

Anyone try this size? I am fully aware of all the other changes that plus sizing will make, but I am really concerned with whether or not the fronts will clear the tight fit of the upper arm.

The 255/40's fit and by deductive reasoning, they are the same height as a set of 225/45's. Does anyone know what the height difference would be between 225/45 amd 235/45?

HELP!

Qu'est ce que vous disez mes amis?

if you're worried about width to clear control arm, 235 should clear as it is the normal width for a 2.7T, But in 45 tire wall ratio it'll be taller. DO you have good clearance up? fender side?

ehhh, i don't think i would go with 45's, get 235/40's , then it should look good and work better.
