will a 245 size tire fit a 18x9" rim??? Am i safe to go 245 all around?

yes but its gonna be small. 255 at least would be better. But yeah 245s would fit fine, they will just be a bit small looking. If your rocking 18x9's all the way around use some 275 or bigger on the back and a 245 or 255 on the front.

I have 295s in back and 245 in front. If you dont like the tire to look that wide or bubble out use 285 in back.

You guys don't have any rub problems with those big sizes? I have 265/40 18's all the way around and they rub in several spots. I just had to "message" the rear brake line bracket so that I wouldn't rub on it.

In the rear when the car bottoms out on the fender lip but I have to find why my car is doing this.
