I'm buying some Motegi Touge wheels, front 18x9 and rear 18x10.I want to put fronts on 225/45/18 and rears on 245/45/18. Is this going to look stupid or too stretched? Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance.

Why would you want to do that? Put some rubber on there since you ahve the room. Plus i don't think it will even fit. I have the same size wheels and I am running 245/40 in front and 275/40 in rear. I would like to go even bigger to 255/35 and 295/35, but it is hard to find the tire i want in that size.

It will look stupid IMHO. I can't stand the stretch tire look, way to played out. The other thing to consider is what are the offsets for the wheels, this will be the major factor.

good call RED people need to understand offset before they buy wheels.

Definately to small in the back. I'm running 245's on my stock 18 x 8.5. Like everyone else said I don't think it will fit the rim.

definately need at least a 275 on that 10" wheel to look right!
