I'm about to purchase a set of wheels. The recomendation for the rear is 245/35-18. But since I had just bought a new set of kumho mx, in a 245-40-18. Will this be ok? Will I have any problems. I'm pretty sure I will have to raise the rear like 1/3" inch to make up gor the difference. The side wall in the 245/35 is 3.4" and in the 245/40 it's 3.9". All help would be appriciated. If the front I'm running ythe recommended size of 225/40-18.
thanks, leo

 

It will throw off the anti lock brakes because the tire is taller. My guess is the would probably hit as well. They are .8" taller than the OE tires.

Jim, do you know if the O.Z. Superleggera are avalible in the the darker color or is it just silver?

 

They discontinued the darker grey.

Jim, one more thing and I'll stop bothering you. I'm planning on purchasing a set of SSR comps. I want to go with the set up of 225/40-18 front and 255/35 -18 rear. My car is lowered with bilstein coilovers, will this cause a problem or should I do a 245/35-18 in the rear?
thaks, leo

 

If any one else has any input please help me out

 

yeah, someone tell me the difference in sidewall- is a lower sidewall = lower profile tire = less rubbing??

 

Sputnik,
I just orderd the same SSR Comp setup your going to and Jim had notified me that I would be fine. My car is currently lowerd as well, about an 1 1/2" all around. My set up is HKS springs on stock shocks.
