whats your offset? if its somewhere in the 40's you will probably want spacer to look flush, thats if you want it to look flush. The 45 and 40 profiles wont make a difference. I would stay with 225/40 because it doesnt make the tires look fat and going 45 or 40, its the fact your wheels are 18s which makes it look smaller. You should have went with 19s at best

Lower it and go with a 235 or 245 size tire. The extra meat on the tire will soften the ride and fill the gap.

ya man i will i think thats what i needi already checked the factory specs/ i can go 235 but 245 gonna cost me more gas money right?coz now i got good mpg i think ,felt light though ,idk

umm, well if you want the speedometer and the odometer to remain the most correct, 225/45 is what you need. same with a wider tire. if you wanted less sidewall, you should have gotten bigger wheels. personally, I'd go back and tell him to put the right tires on my car, whether you want 225 or 245 width is up to you... and then drop it and get some spacers to get them more flush.

my saleman said 225/45R18 but it came out 225/40R18 its that much different ?they should get it right u know.

Did the "salesman" adjust the price to reflect the price difference in the tires? It looks like 225/40's are a good bit cheaper than 225/45's.

[bravey_z12]

not really they just f***ed me up real goodi know i have to go back again and i will

[bravey_z12]

thanks for ur advice and really appreciate it i will get them spacers for sure

Lower it and go with a 235 or 245 size tire. The extra meat on the tire will soften the ride and fill the gap.
