Rear 245/45/18 to 245/40/18 Stock 06 rims
Rear tires look like slick tires, found some used tires but they are 245/40/18. Straight?

Your speedo will be off slightly since your sidewall is now smaller. Thats probly the worst thing.

Get 265 40's or stock. The 265's will be a stretch on an 8.5" wheel, but only 1/4 inch shorter.

You're right. I was looking at the wrong numbers on the calculator.

Call them "racing slicks" and sell them in the marketplace.

Just buy new tires, 245/45-18's arn't that expensive. Then the 245/40-18 will work great up front.

245/40/18 up front when the stock size is 225/45? o_o I thought it was safe to be within 10mm of stock
