245s on stock 18 inch wheels up front?
I just bought a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3's for the rear wheels on my Coupe, then i realized they dont make them in 225/45/18 for the front.
Has anyone put 245/45/18s on the front wheels, or are there problems with the VDC since the tires would have a taller profile
Technically if we had 245's all around the car would have better lateral grip right?

thats why i said lateral grip, meaning sice to side, and i know 245 is the width

I've been running Eagle F1 GS D3's (245/45/18) on the back for a few thousand miles now and I love them. Great traction and look killer too. I'm going to replace the fronts(still orig. pilot sports) with 245/40/18 this upcoming wednesday.
