Hello everyone,
So I am about to buy some tires and wheels for Black Friday but I can t decide what size to get?

What do you suggest? This is my daily driver and I drive 100 miles everyday.

245/40/R18 or 245/45/R17?

17s. 18s are a little much for a daily, IMO, but I guess if your roads are good (and in Palmdale, they'd be fine, right?), you won't be hitting as many sharp bumps and cracks.

Remember, though, stock 18" size for our Sport/Si trims is 235/40-18. 245/40s are just a smidge fat, but better than trying to go 240/35 (and I'd pick 245/40 if I decided to get wider tires for my Sport Touring hatchback).
