I have a 03 Evo currently on stock struts/Tein S Techs, BUT i plan to get coils maybe Omnipower and save money or go crazy and get the Tein Flex.. Anyways, i have 18in R1 GTR-5s but cant remember width on those. Right now i have a225/40/18 tires and i think theyre way too low profile. I dont like spending 1000 on tires and probably end up getting some NeoGens for like $440 installed on all 4 corners but wanna get fatter tires as i want better traction, any suggestion on size? without having the tires be 1cm away from my fender

A 235/40 18 would be just about the same outer diameter as stock and would have a slightly higher profile than the 225/40s. A 245/40 would have a diameter about .5 inches larger than the stock tire and ~0.7 inches larger than what you have now. Hope this helps.

Yup, 235/40-18 would be the better size.

would 240 or 245 be worth it over the 235s? i dont want my edge of my rims getting scratched when im hitting harder corners the 225s have scratched the crap outta my polished lip. thanks

You need to verify if they are talking 245/45/18 or 245/40/18...

hmm good point,

anyone willing to speak on that? would running 235/40/18s or 235/45/18 be a big difference from running 240 or 245/40/18s?

40 sidewall, 45 would be too big. You should look at either 235/40 or 245/40. A 245/45 18 would probably be an inch or more larger than the stock tire diameter. You wouldn't want to do that. The 235/40 is the bast match to the original tire size, a 245/40 will give you a little more sidewall, but would also be about 0.5 inches larger than the stock tire diameter.
