6th gen rims/tires

I bought a set of 6th gen rims and tires. I noticed the tires are a larger diameter, does anyone have experience with this? The car is stock but i have a set of H&R springs I'd like to put in, I hope there isn't going to be a clearance issue.

that's because they come with 245/45/18...you would need 235/45/18...they probably won't rub with H&Rs as that is a mild drop, but your spedometer will be off a bit.

you won't have major problems with that set up.. the car will rub in the back every once in a while... nothing big.... I have 245's in the back and it is fine.... I have maxspeeds installed....

I've have a set of these rims in my garage waiting for my current tires to need replacing, so I'm curious as well...Lontar1 and misiek - what aspect ratio are the 245's you're running? 40 or 45?

Thanks!
