Default 245/40ZR18

Hey All,

I have been searching both 6SO and here, to no avail. Will a 245/40ZR18 fit on my 18x8" turbo twist?

Thanks,
Tim

Selective Recall,

I had them mounted on the GT-2 8.5" rims and they rubbed alot, just an FYI.

I have 245/40/18 Toyo R888's on my 18x9 BBS E88's. Obviously rim offset, rim width, ride height, tire brand all play a factor in rubbing. But for my setup I needed to move the radiators forward slightly, bend/massage the rear radiator brackets, heat and mold the wheel well liners and roll the fenders to get the 245/40's to fit without rubbing.

It sounds like a lot of work, but in actuality it wasn't too bad.
