Why do you say it makes no sense? I came to that conclusion after talking to my friend about it and he said to go 245/45, but decided to go down one.

Could I do 225/45?

what do you think?
If your going to run a 235 I'd run a 235/40/18, not a 45. But i do think you might run into some clearance issues with a 235. I might consider a 225/40/18

I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of the stretched tire look on our cars, it just doesn't flow with our flattened out fenders like it does on European cars with more aggressive curvy fenders. Idk thats just my opinion...

They will give you more clearance though

x2, but a 235/40 has been done. Like you siad it will probably rub a little but who cares...

245 would be nice if our cars were designed for wide wheels and/ or you weren't planning on lowering your car.

Personally I would run something in the neighborhood of +35 to +40. Looks good and with the right tire choice (probably a 225/40/18) and the right amount of negative camber you shouldn't have any issues.

I still don't believe you

With that offset you shouldn't have any rubbing issues. what are you rubbing on? Front or Rear? Fender liner?

Huh?!? tug your fenders in?

Did you actually adjust your fender? Our did you play with your fender liners?
