I would agree with this.

245 on a 9.5 has minor stretch even.

I saw a bunch of guys posting 245s, so I thought it was fitting for the thread. Oh well. Carry on guys!

No disrespect I think your set up looks great...but a 245 on a 8.5 inch rim is a big difference from a 9.5 one is meaty...one is not

Something new for summer.

Michelin PSS 265/35R18. They will replaced the 255/35R18 Continental DW on my TE37SL.

Gonna roll fenders at Area1320 in PA and do a new alignment.

question for you guys with 255/35/18 tires. Do you guys have fender work or do you rub like crazy? I read from page 1-9 and couldn't find much. I just bought a set of 18x9.5 45offset and trying to figure what tires to buy in which I can safely run on coilovers and no camber, pulling/rolling fenders. Is that possible? And no i'm not gonna be slammed maybe 1.5-2" drop.

On 255 you won't rub and you won't need to roll

Holy sidewall Batman!

I don't know the answer to your question, but perhaps this website will help:
