Default Slick sizes

I know it's been covered before, but could not find it using the search feature.
Would these sizes fit my car w/o rubbing? They are for Pirelli slicks, BTW.
245X645X18
305X645X18

My car is an 02' X50, lowered, on Motons. I run 225/35, 315/25 19"s MPS2's for the street. Track wheels are OEM hollow turbo twists.
Thanks!

Are the rears actually specified as fronts? I've been searching as well but only found front spec slicks in rear size needed.

As Basic mentioned -- be certain that the "645" is okay for the rear of your Turbo. I'm aware some have run this size, including myself, but the sidewall could be a concern for the heavy and powerful turbos. I had a number of issues with "650 Yokos" on the rear of my turbo. At the very least I would not run them on any type of high speed banking.

Perhaps place a call to Bob Woodman to be certain.

Do you have his contact info?

Another quick question, anybody know if johnbtires (www.johnbtires.com) is up and running?
I've left several e-mails, no response (aside from their automated "bot" response).

Thanks!
