Michelin Pilot Alpin

245/40/18 front
245/45/18 rear

That will make the front almost the exact circomfrence as stock.
I know that you should not go wider in the winter, but its not the drive wheels so what do you think?
Will a 245/40/18 fit fine in the front with no rubbing?

 

holy cow!

have you thought about 17s for the winter?

 

Not really.
I would really like to stay with the stock rims because I think they look great and its 4-5 months out of the year. Also, it ends up being much more money to get aftermarket 17's plus winter tires (I refuse to put on steel wheels). I would also like to keep the tire pressure sensors.
So in a nutshel, I'm really looking for a tire that will work with the stock 18" non rays.
