255/45 on the stock 18" (non-track) rear rim?
Any problems with this setup?
I am currently running 245/40 all around, and want to go a little wider with the rear tires. Will I have any problems using 255/45 (since stock profile is 45 anyway).
I have a Base model so no problems with TCS/etc.
Thanks in advance.

awesome! robert post up pics when you get em mounted. i dont know what middle number i should go with. what do you guys think? i know i want 255/XX/18 all the way around but what would look and perform the best? I am dropped 1 inch in the front and 1.2 inches in the rear if that helps any.

the 245 up front should help you with understeer.
Stock size is 225F/245R. IMO, i think 225 is too small for up front (which is why i have 245/40 up front now).

Um you sure you meant to say a 35 series and not a 40 series or even a 45?
Don't know how to say this but a 255/35/18 will look waaayyyyy not right.
A 255/40/18 would be waaaay better. Your wheel wells will look HUGE and your wheels tiny and your sidewalls will look way too thin as well, not to mention the speedo will be off quite a bit.
