If 245's will fit on the stock wheels, will that be too skinny for 18x8.5? i'm ordering some enkei RP03's tomorrow and i want to make sure i get the right size. should i just go with 255's???

245's are the way to go with our OEM wheels.

i'm actually gonna go back down to 225/45/18 when these 245 RT615's wear out by this spring, I lost 1mpg on average in fuel efficiency as result of using wider (and probably heavier) tires than stock specifications, and I'd like to get that 1mpg back lol

Got the Kumho Ecsta ASX (all-season): $85/tire vs. $119/tire. Was thinking about the Continentals..they were $125/tire...but...@$40/tire difference..chose the Kumho..afterall, they are only all-season..so performance-wise, won't be that much difference to justify going with the 245..

Tirerack.com
Actually, they will be $95/tire once America Tire/Les Schwab match price. Otherwise, if you try to buy locally, they are normally $120 or so/tire. For the NW environment, all season makes so much more sense than summer. If only I was rich....heh!

Jingle Ballzzzz!
You got 225's though didn't you? I got 245's through TireRack, I think they were $119. Now that I think about it, I did, however, send in the $40 rebate... did you?

You just have to submit it within 30 days of buying certain tires. It doesn't show up on the TireRack or Kumho sites anymore though...
You need to print out the rebate form and mail it with a copy of your receipt - see PDF file below.
Forty bucks back!!!
