NEED HELP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

Hello,

My friend at lexus picked up 9 245/40/18 tires, but my new 18's are 225/40/18 will they fit?

I need to know soon!

yes they will but they are going to stick out ferther from the rim. This is good only if you don't want to worry about hitting curbs.

245's are wide man. Like rbtc77 said, they will fit, but stick out.

how wide are your rims? it should be 8.5-9 wide to run those, then you would have problems with rubbing

getting them to fit and having them be reliable and not fall off the wheel are two different things
