18" Wheels with 245/45/18 tires and 40mm offset. I want to see how many people with 4th/5th gens and I30's are running this exact size and offset. Thanks

Most likely no one I try to get this setup and at the time only Michelin made this tire size. They are no longer going to Manufacture this tire size either not a popular size. So I went to 245/40 18 and boy did my overall wheel diameter looked sweet, not just that it made them a bit heavy too.

245-45-18 is too big a tire. Not that it can't be done, but your overall diameter will be off by quite a bit, acceleration will suffer, and then it will suffer some more because they will be heavy as hell. 235-40-18 is the correct size to use for 18" wheels on a Maxima/I30.
