I ran a 245, 255 will be wide in the front.

Also, 45 isn't going to work either.

There is a Wheel & Tire forum on this site too - you can also post there and the Tire Rack guy will answer with a more technical response and recommendations.

255/45 will be big on an 18" wheel...that's 27" total height.

the stock tire is 235/40 18...which is a 25.4" total height

the guys who run 255/35 19 are at 26.0"

you'll need a lower profile tire than 45

You could start rubbing at some point, too. When I put on BBS rims with more of an offset and 245s it started rubbing. Had to raise the car back up until these wear out, then I'll go to 235s.

so could i run a 255 40 18 on stock height.?
