widest tires for OEM 18s?
Can they physically fit? Maybe if you find a shop stupid enough to mount them. Should you mount those tire sizes? IMO no, not at all. the 18" wheels are only 8" wide, and should have no wider than a 245 mounted on them. A 275 requires a wheel at least 9" wide. You could go with 245/40/18F and 245/45/28R

o i thought you werer running 28" rims rear LOL well the reason i ask is i am selling these tires and another guy wants to buy them but has 18" oems.. so maybe ill sell him the fronts?
Tried a quick search and couldn't find anything for ya... I did see a 275 mounted on an OEM 19 but that's 8.5, and even THAT'S pushing it... I wouldn't recommend it.

yea... 275's on the oem 18's arent good.. i actually did it.. and i just didnt have that piece of mind the whole time.. didn't feel safe.. it was ok in a straight line.. but when i was on a turn or off ramp or on ramp.. just felt like i was gonna break loose and hit the wall.. i had no real control of the car when it came to turning so i took them off and went with some 245/40's in the front and 245/45's in the rear.. good luck
curious, did you guys do anything else to fit the 245/40 and 245/45 combo's on your OEM 18's? I have a stock G Coupe and I wanna do this as well, but wanna make sure that everything will be ok if I do...
Also, is there any benefit with going with this setup or is it just for looks?
