just purchased 18x8 and 18x9 mille miglia wheels

sup guys, just bought the mille miglias used. for the front its 18x8 with a +40 offset and the back its 18x9 with a +45 offset. (the 18x9 are discontinued so i think ill be the only one...i know it might be a bit ricey but i think it will look nice since the back tire sits inside the fender and this way it should be flush) i will be getting the 245/40/18 for the front but im not sure what to get for the back, someone please help

i would try to stay close to the same since it's a front wheel drive car and there are no traction benefits to a wider tire. if the cross section is too narrow on the 245/40 (not sure that it is) then maybe a 255/35.

guess the only drawback is getting them rotated... which you really can't do unless the tire shop unmounts then mounts the tires again.
