Default 285x45x18

I know it says the best size is 285x35x18 but i was wanting to try and get rid of some of the space in between the tire and the wheel well. Will 285x45x18s rub on anything with eibach prokit springs.

285/45 will be really tall, i tried that with 285/40 and it looked like crap, i had them on 18x9 wheels and the bulged bad. they will look like truck tires

Aren't the stock tires 45s though? They dont really look too tall.... but if it looks like crap then i'll just go with the 35s.

ah....i see, 35s it is then.
