Does it look odd from the side with the smaller height tires? Like is there alot more fender well showing? If u have a pic that would be great.
Also does ur rear tire overhang the rims at all? I just ordered 20mm wheel spacers all around and want to make sure the tire won't rub with a 265/40/18 tire on.

The car need a stagger in tire height for everything (ABS, VDC, TCS) to work properly. Thats why i recomend 245/40 front and 245/45 rears for stock wheels. you can get away with 265/40 rears, but its a hard to find size, expensive and really doesnt fit as well as needed for proper handling.

LOL , 40 is an aspect ratio , it stands for 40% not 40mm. The aspect ratio is 40% of the width, just like a 45 is 45% of the width of the tire is the tire height.

I always think 40 stands for 40mm.
