255/40/18: the best choice for fronts?
Up to this point in time, I have been shopping for 245/40/18's for the front of my car to run on 8.5x18's. Now I discover that 255/40/18 is actually much closer in diameter than the 245's.
225/45/18s are 25.9 in diameter.
245/40/18s are 25.6
255/40/18s are 26.0
Is anyone running 255's? Why is everyone running 245's?

"Why is everyone running 245's?"
good question.
however, the reasons i can think of...
1. tried and true. many have used this on this board without problem
2. better turn in
3. less drag
4. nismo recommended this combination 245/275 with their wheel package
"Is anyone running 255's". I am.

I run 255/40/18 Azenis RT-615 front and rear on four 18x8.5" Rays Track rims (made from 2 sets).
Fits fine up front and believe it or not it barely fits in the back with a H&R 25mm spacer.
Makes for a sweet stance and excellent balance (can rotate to).
