I'm looking at picking up some 18's for the spring. Just to make things easier, I'm looking at a used wheel/tire package. I found a great deal on nice rims, but they have 235/45/18 tires mounted. I know that to stay in spec, 235/40/18 is the recommended size. Will this slightly larger series tire make much of a difference? I've already checked and and the speedo will be off by about 4.6%, not too bad. Also, does anyone have a pic of this size with on a fairly decent drop (roughly 1.5")? Any issues?

Thanks


EDIT: Is 235/50/18 pushing it too far? Pics would help a lot too.

 

4.6% diameter change is a huge change. I would go with 235-40-18.

 

235/45/18 will definitely rub, at least in the back.

go with 235/40/18....

why would you want big balloon tires like 235/50/18??

 

trust me, i would much rather have 235/40/18, but like i said, this is a package that is being sold and the buyer says that that is the size of the mounted tire. i would plan on just using them for a year and then mounting new, correct size tires next year. i'll probably just pass on this.

 

Yeah, I would pass....

 

turned out to be 235/50/18. way to big. guess i'll keep searchin...
