Do like I did, buy the stuff and pray

Not sure bout the fitment, but i think some one with a black RA had the same setup (i think) with no problems.... well not on the stockers that's for sure

245 on 8.5" wide... good....

245 on 7" wide.... not too smart... tire probably not seat correctly and blow right off the rim when doing a corner... lol

He specifically asked if it would fit on a stock rim. Answer: No.

I'd think the biggest tire u should go with on the stock 7" rim would be a 225

According to continental, 7.0-8.5" wide rims are approved for 225/45R18. So 225 seems to be the widest whilst still within spec.

Especially if they are heavier tires. Try to offset it a little with lighter wheels and lugs.
