18 inch wheel Q

looking to get some lightweight wheels for my max. i have some heavy azz 18s now, but i love my tire size which is 245/40/18. i hate to run a ricer 18x7.5 wheel, but will my 245/40/18 toyo 4s fit?

I would not suggest 245s on a 7.5in rim....235s is the widest I would go...I'm running 235s with 10mm spacers f/r

im running 225 45 18 front and 245 45 18 in the back... i have the g 35 rims with the offset being bigger on the back rims... i have occasional rubbing issues but thats i believe due to the offset of the rim... you might want to check on that?

why would you run a larger rear tire width on a front drive car????
