Will 245 40 18 tires fit on the front

Re: tires
 

I think they will - but unsure of the handling you'll get.


There are a LOT of tire threads, you might snoop around here: Wheels, Brakes, Tires and Suspension - CrossfireForum.org
and see what others have done. MANY of us are running wider, larger tires on the rear (I run 285/25/19) and LOVE the cornering and slight slower cruising rpms.

I'm just unsure of how it will handle with those up front...

Its a daily driver. I want to know if I will have rubbing problems with 245 40 18 on the front. I have 255 40 19 on the back any good combinations for that

I REALLY think they won't rub. I just cant' say for sure.

If no one chimes in by morning, or you are in a hurry , go look around in the forum I showed you and see what people are getting away with.
I know my 285's in the rear are FINE, even in heavy turns at speed.

But I DO know that guys have had tires rub up front, it SEEMS, a lot - but those were lowered cars, if I remember right.


I've never used anything but OEM size up front.

The place that rubs first on the fronts is the suspension bolt on top of the wheels. The stock distance is about 1/2" (give or take). You might get 235 in there, but no way 245. The only way to get 245 is a 10mm spacer.

I ran 245 40 18s for autocross with a 10mm spacer. Didn't rub on the top bolt, but under hard cornering & braking I did rub the plastic fender liner. With 10mm hubcentric wheel spacers, shouldn't be a problem as a daily driver.
