A 225/40/18 is a little taller than stock. A 245/45/17 is much taller. Not really comparable.

245 40 17 4s weighs 22lbs 8.3" tread width 24.7" (stock diameter)
225 40 18 4s weighs 21lbs 7.7" tread width 25.1" diameter

Compare to a Advan Neova ad08R 225/45/17
24.8" diameter 24lbs 8.5 tread width. 180utqg.

Which is a tire that would go on a 17x9 rpf1. So in some cases, lightweight wheels are for heavy racing tires.

Gotta pay to play! My next set will be 17x9 +25 to +35. , possibly 17x9.25. I plan on getting 225/45 or 235/40s.
