Tire Help!

Ok so i recently bought new rims. They are 18x8.5+30 front and 18x10+22 rear(I know itll need some work). I want a set of Continental Extremecontact DSW's. I was looking at the tire size 245/45/18 front and 275/40/18 rear. According to the calculator. The size difference is from 24.85 stock to 26.66 total diameter. Id go with a lower profile, but the lowest these tires come in is 40 =/ Will they fit fine?

get 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. you're gonna have clearance issues with a tire that tall. why do you want those tires anyway? theyre nothing special..

40 profile tires on 18" wheels are TALL. Don't get them, they will rub through your fender liner easily without very stiff springs.

I wouldn't recommend anything taller than 25.5", really.
