^ Yeah, but that's stretching and camber. Idk how he'll get the tire even under the fender with a 245.

no there is another member on here with 17x9.5 or 18 Rota Torques, matched with 255 Nittos. Also didn't the other Flint run meaty tires with his SBC RPF1s?

245 is a beefy tire. i run that on a 17x8 wheel and it rubs like a mother in the rear.

The silver ones? Those are CR Kais, not torques

An 18x9 +15 with a 245/40/18 tire will not fit under stock fenders. That's a pretty aggressive offset to be running such a wide tire on. You'll definitely need to roll/pull the fenders or even get fenders flare to fit them.

This customer is running 18x9 +35 and I believe he has a 235/40/18 tire on it and it's pretty flush already.
