Yup I had the same issue... i was still on 225 before i sold it.. I was gonna use 240 before, but the guy at the tire shop said it would still poke out... I think you will minimize ur issue with 245, and I am pretty sure there's gonna be no rubbing issue :D

See I really want the concavity of the 18x9.5 but don't want 9.5 in the front. Plus, after seeing the Gram Lights 57FXX, I'm not sure if I want these or those now. Hmm...

Are you tracking the car and looking for square setup for that purpose? Most all wheel selections I've seen "especially higher end wheels" for twins have little to no concave till 9.5" actually aside from some Rota varieties which some in 8.5" do have some concave.

what tire size are you using?

Do you have a picture of your car from the profile view so I can see those rims. Thanks

Found this site that has the 18x8.5 +42 face 2. From the photos, it looks like it does have a slight concave. I ordered a 18x9.5 square setup, but if it looks like this for the 8.5 I might just change my fronts to this. I really didn't want to have a 9.5 front.
