I'm glad to see that you're running those sizes, that's exactly what i want to run with the new bridgestone re-11's. It looks like everyone else goes to 235/40-18 and 265-35-18, which has a 3% smaller rolling diameter. Where as a 245/45-18 and 275/40-18 is 2.5% larger than stock, so even better if you DD.
My question for all you though, will those sizes rub? I don't see why considering most of you guys manage to stuff rims that are a solid 1" larger than stock.
since stock is
F: 225/45-18 803 turns per mile (TPM)
R: 255/40-18 799 TPM
looks like another option would be:
F:245/40-18 811 TPM (-0.98% different)
R:265/40-18 792 TPM (+0.88% different)
F/R difference: 1.86%
Though i'm still leaning towards
F:245/45-18 780 TPM (+2.9%)
R:275/40-18 782 TPM (+2.1%)
F/R difference: 0.8%.
I'd much rather having a larger tire size bias over a reduce diameter since i DD the car and it logs some freeway hours. So, thoughts?
