Nice... I think it could go a tad bit lower in the rear but that exhaust and the diff may be in trouble.

It is physically possible to do that but that's more stretch than people on this forum usually run. That's like VW stretch

Here is a 235 on a 10" rim. You get the idea.

Wait, here you go. But keep in mind not all 245/40-18's will be exactly the same in how they stretch.




This is a 245 on a 10.5" rim but in 19's

I've run 245/40/18 on 18x10.5 a handful of times. Check out my flickr (click the pic in my sig) and go to the set of orange TE37. All of those are 10.5 ET15 w/245/40/18 Pirelli Pzero Nero all seasons. Some tires will stretch more than others, so keep that in mind.

For a while, all of the pictures of my car were when it was filthy. I no longer get it that dirty these days, but for that streak it seems everyone would call me out on it on the forums haha. You can even read "LOL!" written in the dirt on my rear bumper.
