Momo Arrow

Recently, I purchased a set of brand new Momo Arrow 18" x 8.5 and they're being shipped from UK now, so hopefully I'll get them by next weekend. However I have the same question, should I go with 245/40-18 or 235/40-18...Will 245 rub or not? Anyways, I can't wait to get the Momo's....

235 or 245????

The truth is that the 245 will give u more traction. However, your speedometer will be off. In regards to 245 rubbing, is negative. Personally, I recommend the 235.

Don't you think the 245's would be a better ride, because of more rubber and less lower profile?
