245/45/18?
Hey guys,
long story short, my tires got destroyed and i can't drive my car around right now. i'm running on 18x9 wheels right now and a buddy of mine with an sti has some extra tires he's willing to sell to me for a good price, but the size is 245/45. Unfortunately, money is an issue, otherwise i'd shell out for new tires.
I'm currently running 235/40 without any issues @ stock height, I took some measurements with a measuring tape, as well as used jimlab's nifty excel spreadsheet, but I just wanted to double check that I won't have fitment issues. Don't want to get the tires mounted and balanced and find that i can't drive out of my garage without rubbing
thanks in advance!

Yeah, I got around the same numbers as you did,
i calc'ed my current sidewall to be 94mm high (235 * .40), and the new tire to be 110.25mm high (245 * 45), so i should be getting an extra 1.6 cm thickness all around, just kind of worried that everytime i turn the steering wheel i'll be rubbing against the liner lol. Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Has anybody been in the situation of running these sized tires before?
