Those of you with 245/40-18 tires

Do your tires rub? I have 235/45-17s on the car right now. Im going to upgrade to 18x8 inch rims and Im considering 245/40-18s.Any input will be helpful. Thank you

I wonder how many times this topic has been resurrected. I am the light, your salvation.... No rubbing here, unless you mean outside the car

245 40 18

For 18' rims 245-40-18 tires are fine! No rub her either!
