Default Before I buy...

Finally buying new tires for my new wheels and I wanted to verify what I'm buying will work fine.

The wheels I bought are 18x8 +46 around. However, I had to run a 5mm spacer in the front so I'm down to +41.

The tires I want to buy are Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110, 225/40/18 F and 245/35/18 R.

My fenders are rolled all the way around and I have relocated my bumper tabs in the rear. I am pretty low at the moment, and I would like to keep it that way but I don't mind having to raise it.

You guys think I should be ok? Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Should be fine. 245 is a pretty wide tire for an 8 inch wide wheel. Is there a 9 inch wide option for the rear?

I already own the wheels so unfortunately that's what I'll have in the rear. 245 is wide but I've heard it's been done and doesn't bulge too much. What do you think?

I guess try it out. The only thing I can't tell you is if you will need to raise the car. Everything else should be fine with the fender work you have done.

Ok thanks. That's good enough for me to buy them. I was just worried about the fronts rubbing with the +41

If you're rolled your front's should be fine.
