wheels/tires (245/40/18)

Would tires with a width of 245 on an 18-inch wheel fit in my 95 maxima without sticking out much or making it look weird? Does anyone have any pictures of a maxima with a 245-size tires? If 245 is too wide, would 235 work on the maxima?

Jay,

How much of a finger gap do you have in the front and back?
Thanks,
Mike

Yeah, that drop looks so sexy, its really time I cut a coil in the front. The back of your car looks slightly lower than mine though, maybe its just the picture. With my 235/45/17 I sometimes rub, usually only when turning and going over a dip though. Im hoping once I take my heavy as4 sub box out of the trunk it'll stop though.
