245/40/18+18x9s= ok???

[the realness]

Whats up stangnet? Does any one in here have this combination? If so how does it look. I recently purchased some 18x9 cobra r's and was wondering which tire size i should go with. I was thinking either 245/40/18 or 255/40/18. I did a search but found alot of people using 265's and up(thats more money than i want to spend). If any one can help i would greatly appreciate it.

245's fit fine

They should fit fine. The only cons I've heard is that with this size the sidewalls look razor thin. that probably why people go with 265 or 275 all around.

i have had that setup 18x9 all the way around and i had 245/40's up front and 275/35's in the rear, and after looking at them for awhile the 245's were a little too small on the width since 245 is the minimum width for a 18x9 wheel.the 275's look good on the 18x9 wheel, real good.

also if money is an issue with tires i had a buddy who worked at a discount tire store and they sometimes have decent take offs with plenty of life on the tire to help get you started and they sell cheap. thats what i did because the funds were low. also you may want to look at tirerack.com for avon tech tires, i hear they are pretty good and wont kill the pocket book when you look at the 265's thru 285's.
