I think 245 is a good choice traction wise. I'm gonna run a reverse staggered setup on my car once I buy summer tires..

is he buying the G18's to track or drag race?????????........................... if thats the case then the whole setup is a bad choice.... traction to me was more on the tire rating and thread percentage of the tires, but o.k.....

Looks good, I went with 245/40 front and 245/45 rear on my current 18x8" setup, and I like it and I agree thick tires>thin tires.

i agree with the tire statement to an extent... i do like a tire ti have a lil meat on em depending on the drop... i dont really go for meaty tires on larger wheels, just me... the stock 225/45 seemed perfect for a 5.5 to me but i understand we all have different taste where thats concerned n i respect that

Yea so did the Grand Prix iirc its not a bad thing at all but I rather just match the rear up as well, that way you can still rotate the tires.

Even though now I can't lol maybe I'll throw the 245/45 in the front

Anyway enough threadjacking
