They would be mounted on an 18x11 wheel.

Thanks!

I ran NT01s 315/30-18 a few times when there was a shortage of 305/35-18s which I prefer way more. 315s would be better on 12" rim in my opinion.

How much lower were you in the rear?

You can check sizes on Nitto web site. 245/40 fronts really "like" 305/35 height but it is possible for 315/30. AWD cars are especially sensitive with height differences due to ABS. If you are still intermediate driver you wouldn't see much difference.
