So my current setup is:

Ambit wheels 18x9.5 +38
Stock tires 235/40/18
D2 springs

And I wanted to run a meatier tire. I feel like a 245/40/18 will do the job but I was curious if anyone else was running this already or if anyone would know if it would cause any issues!

How does it look it right now? Actually trying to go the exact same spec but wondering how 235 is.

The radius for 255/35/19 is 5mm smaller than 235/40/18 and the radius for 245/40/18 is 4mm bigger than 235/40/18

255/35/19 has a higher chance avoiding the rubbing than 245/40/18.

The flip side is that 255/35/19 is less comfortable than 245/40/18.

I have this exact setup and it definitely rubs on dips and bigger bumps. I'm going to try a little camber once out of storage otherwise I'll be looking to swap back to oem tire size.
