18" tire size ?
I recently picked up a set of (4) American Racing Wheels.
18 X 8 --- 4.50 backspace My truck is lowered 4" front & 4" rear. What size tire would look best ?? 245/45/18 or 255/45/18 |

Re: 18" tire size ?
You likely won't notice a 2.25mm difference in tire radius.
Either would do fine. I think the 245 is a more common tire size, which gives you more options in tire. This is 245/45R18:

Re: 18" tire size ?
Agreed.... Not a notable difference between the two choices listed. Pick whichever one has the best pricing and/or is the more common.
