Sorry to post this here as im sure that tons of people have already asked this question. I did a search and couldnt find exactly what i was looking for though. My question is this.

I cannot find any halfway decent tires that i like for the stock 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 sizes. I am using the stock 18 inch wheels. I would prefer to use a plus one scheme where i can have a broader range of tires to put on the car. Is there any plus one size that i can use? Basically any other sized combination of tires that i can use. I am at a loss here because from the way i understand it the VDC traction control goes crazy with tires outside of the stock tire heights. Can someone provide me with some options, or confirm for me that other than stock size i have no options? I am also under the impression that due to the width of the stock rims i cannot go any wider than 245. Is that also true?

Thanks for your help!

 

i think according to the tire calculator that 245/40/18 and 245/45/18's would work. Wouldnt look too bad with a staggered set up would it?

 

Are you asking about a Coupe or Sedan?

 

sorry. i have the 2003 coupe

 

the reason i say staggered is because the sidewall heights are different. ie 40vs45.
