ORIGINAL: washyourrhands

i bought 35/45/18's once and rubbed continuously so i immediatly took them off and returned them and got 35/35/18s

the only way to go

that way you know there is absolutly no rubbing
also affected by offset so it might not have been the width alone

yeah I just put brand new Goodyear F1 all-season tires on my S4. I got them in the normal stock size 225/45/17 down fromthe Michellins 235/40/17's that I had on there. I have seen a slight increase in gas milage but that maysomething totally unrelated. I'm not sure, any of you guys with more experienceknow about a coralationbetween increase in tire size and decrease in MPG's?

I have the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2's and I love them so much. I have 18inch wheels and h&r coilovers and there is no rub that I can tell of.

height isnt as big as much as the width is...

a 235/45/17 can rub as much as 235/45/18
