Thanks for the great info, both of you.I am getting close to getting a new setup.
Do either of you think that a 245/40/18 would work as well? The only difference is 1 inch in height difference. When I feel the space between the stock front tire and the strut height does not seem to be an issue.
I am considering the VMR 804 which is 18 x 8 with a 42mm offset.
Looking to get a more meaty setup with more sidewall for ride/potholes.
Thanks
Pat
