Wheel Tire Photo Request

I'm thinking of running something a little fatter a wider on my for my next set of tires. I currently have 235/40 on my 18 x 8.5 + 30 Volk CE28N's.

Does anyone have any pics of a 245/45 tire on a set of 18 x 8.5 + 30 wheels?

I'm wondering how this will look and if I'll run into any issues.

245/45/18 is too large of a tire (diameter). You will probably have some really bad rubbing issues...

Good to know, to be safe I'll run 245/40.

Thanks

I run 245/40/18, but it does rub a little.

This size is about .75" greater than stock wheel/tire diameter. You can't run mud flaps with this size (rubs really bad), and it'll throw off inertia dynos (tell them before going on a dyno).

How wide are your wheels? Do you have a pic I could take a look at?

Wheels are 8" (I think +25, no spacers).

Only real rubbing issue I have is the right rear.
