I'm considering upsizing my tires to 18. Can anyone tell me or clarify if 245/40/18 is the way to go without loosing performance or having the tire rub against the fender? I haven't decided if I want to play it safe by going with 245/45/18.

You may want to take a look at the related thread below.... either tire size would be fine; the two sizes 245/40 and 245/45 are the closes diameter to the stock tire, in an 18". I'm trying out the 245/45 in the next day or two, and will report back then.

 

hello my name is Art from california the way to go its with 20" I just have mine they dont rub or have any problems with it they are 20" by 8.5 and the tires are 35 you wont go wrong

 

Ituryss,

You are just the man I am looking for, I am about to put 20's on my sedan with 245/35/20 tires on them and want to know if I will have any rubbing problems or not. By the way, how is the ride quality now with the new rims, much different?

Hey, post a pic if you can, I would love to see another G with 20's on it. Where did you get your rims and what recommendation do you have if any? Also what brand of tire did you go with?

Sorry for all the questions, but so few out there have 20's on their rides, and I guess this is a forum after all. Thanks.

Once you own the best, everything else is just the rest...

 

245/35/20's on 20x8.5in wheels, 38mm backspace. Stock suspension, NO rubbing. Much sharper handling/steering, slightly harsher ride. MANY MORE compliments...
