My dedicated winter tires r blizzak lm60 225/45/17 vs my 245/40/18. Since I have the performance winter tires and even though they're a 45 series r a smaller diameter by about 1" giving more wheel well clearance.

Edit: as far as ride height goes if u r at stock height is not going create any issues as appose to having very little wheel well clearance for buildup of snow and ice. Last edited by trev762; 10-09-2012 at 10:10 AM. |

But I did remember you writing: ...which is what I had discounted in my original reply to you. so, whatever. it should hopefully be painfully clear at this point. |

dude. reading all of your posts, you still told him that an 18x8 reduces clearance, and that a smaller wheel will give more clearance. and you never explained that the tire size you initially suggested was why he would get more clearance.
