Just purchased some Varrstoen ES2 18x9.5 +22 wheels, will my 245/40/18 tires fit? All the tire charts I've looked at says yes, just need reassurance. They're damn near brand new tires, so I don't want to have to buy others, will if need be. And will these wheels rub with the Eibach Pro-Kit springs I also purchased (1.4f 1.2r)?

Will fit, however a bit stretched.

Not to worried about them stretching. Just as long as i can get as much use out of them as possible. Thanks man.

I'd say more than 'a bit' stretched. 9.5" is 241mm for the barrel of the wheel, add in an inch for the lip and your wheels are a total of 267mm wide from lip to lip.

Everyone has their opinions on looks, my concern would be on curb rash. Your wheel lips will have zero protection from your tires and be hanging out there like a raw nerve ending just waiting to get scraped.

I'm getting the same dimension wheels (w 275 tires) and I'll likely have to roll the rears and maybe the fronts. Not sure with your tire/spring combo.

It'll be stretched, Use up these 245's as quick as possible, then get some properly size 265 tires.

I had planned on using these up quick, they're cheap tires and wont last much longer. Just hate not getting the use that I paid for out of them.
