Just to confirm before I order later tonight, there is no problem with turn radius or any other issues with this size?

I have 255/55's on 18's, so there a little bigger than the ones you want so you shouldnt have a problem, my car is at stock height by the way so Im not sure about a lowered car

255-45-18 seems to be one of the more popular choices to run on the front.

I believe my calculation turned out to be something less than .4 MPH at 60. Wasn't worth getting out the tuner and making the adjustment since I can't discern .4 MPH on my speedometer.

I also heard that some tires have different revs per Brand not just the obvious size. As in like BFGs to a Toyo tire even though theyre the same size. I dont know,ive always just looked at the makers site and found the number i needed for whatever i had on my car at the time when it needed to have new tires on it. Doesnt i guess makes a difference if youre driving like a 72 Vega 4 banger but ive always tried to keep my MPH numbers as close as i could get. Wanna know exactly how fast he's accusing me of going and if or not i can deny it,lol. Brent

Its the wheel that can get you into trouble.What is the offset of the wheel? I do run a dd 18x9" that has a 34mm offset and 255/45/18's with good clearance.
