    Will a 245 40 18 tires fit on sports pack 18 wheels

    I currently have 235 40 18. So will a 245 40 18 tires be ok on the standard 18 inch wheels?

    The Sport Package wheels are "Vicenza" 18x8" alloy wheels.

    Try a site such as; Tire Size Calculator - Tire & Wheel Plus Sizing and see what the outcome is.
    Also maybe contact some of your local tyres shops and see what they say.

    Sorry I dunno what the ET and the other field is.
    All I want is to see if current 235 40 18 Vicenza wheels will fit 245 40 18 on the Vicenza

    They'll fit, but they won't feel as sharp to drive on, and will probably be prone to edge wear.

    ET is the offset or distance the inner face of the rim sits in relation to the centerline of the wheel Either inside or outside it Plus is further out meaning your wheels have less poke Minus means they stick out further

    245/40r18 fit 8"-9.5" rims, so yes they will fit the rims.

    Have you got room for an extra 5mm width inside & outside?
    Have you got room for an extra 3mm diameter?

    How inaccurate is your speedometer at the moment?
