Default Need advice on tire size.

I found some rims that I really like in 18s but I'm not exactly sure what size of tires to get. Posted a question on the blog but it was pretty slow yesterday so I didn't get many responses.

I believe 245/45/18 should fit on an aftermarket set of 18 inch wheels. Just want to make sure no one has had an issues with fitment before I make a purchase. More than likely I'll be ordering from tirerack.com. Discount Tire would be another option if there were any within a reasonable distance, but there really isn't any within even 100 miles. I do realize that every car will react different to tires but if anyone has ran this size and had any fitment issues I'd like to know

And no I'm not telling what rims I'm getting til they're on lol :p

Change of plans!!!!!!! eBay has a deal with discounttire going on right now with free shipping and $100 prepaid visa with purchase of 4 tires.

Just ordered some Goodyear Eagle GTs for $445 shipped so they'll be $345 after I get the rebate which will probably be some time but still too good of a deal to pass up. At least for me it was. I'll delay 18s for another year and invest a little into paint/body work instead Possibly a cold air inductions intake as well

Was this deal for 18" tires?
