The Ultimate Aggressive Wheel Thread...
Tires will be stretched slightly on that wide of a wheel and 245/45/18 is going to be about 1.6-2" taller than the stock size so that is a pretty tall tire to go with. A more ideal tire size for an Evo 8 or 9 and a 18x10 wheel for race slicks would be a 265/35/18. This is about the same height as stock and is recommended for a 9.5-10" wide wheel.

there's an unused set at my work that i could basically get for free but if its that much taller there is no way it will work on my car 
Ya I have collected over the years and have quite a few tires. I get mine for pretty good prices since I jump on the deals when I hear or see them locally. Helps that there is a race track not far away from where I live and work 
I have the 245's for my 9" wide wheels and then some 285's will be for my 10.5" wheels later down the road after some body modification
Understandable when you find a good deal. You just want to jump on it Ya I have collected over the years and have quite a few tires. I get mine for pretty good prices since I jump on the deals when I hear or see them locally. Helps that there is a race track not far away from where I live and work

what rims you going with to fit the 285s? i have my 285 R6s on my 18x10 +38 RPF1s. i would like to put a bigger rim under there if i could, but without modifying the body or getting CCWs and aftermarket trailing arms i don't think its possible

i have a set of nt03s that are 9.5" wide that i could put them on but i'd still wouldn't be able to clear them seeing how tall they would end up being

If I can work a deal out with a friend I would love to pick up one of his 18x11 TE37 sets
I am actually going to be running 245 and 255 wide tires on some 18x9.5 I have now
