I have 18s and I am using 245 40s. I just need some tires to get on the road for a little while until I get the loot to buy new ones. There is a shop near me that has a bunch of used tires. I called them and said that I didnt really need 245 40 and that I wouldnt mind going a little wider and he said that "40's" were already wide enough, that sounds bass akwards to me. I thought the 245 was the width? Anyway my speedo is off anyway because of the gears so I really dont care what size I put on as long as its not too tall. So what sizes would be good? These tires will only be on for a little while so it is not ultra important, just to get me on the road. Also I plan on getting the 23 tooth speedo gear so what size would put my speedo back to normal with 3.73 gears? Thanks.

yea youre right about the width. Use this to help figure out tire sizes. You probably want to stay around 26" tall tires
