Can someone PLEASE post a pic of your vehicle if you have the following

DUNLOP DIREZZA Z1 STAR SPECS in 245/40/18 or 265/35/18

HANKOOK RS-3 in 245/40/18 or 255/35/18 or 265/35/18

Im hoping the pics sell me on wanting to put 245/40/18's on my car I was always told the side walls are that good to corner on them. The 245's are soo much more affordable then the 255's. Such a nominal difference in the tire too. I know the Star Specs are a "meater" tire so hopefully the 245 satifies me. I've never seen the Hankook's on our cars.

Help me out

I should have looked at tire brands before choosing my tire. My Bridgestone Potenza in 255 looks like a Dunlop 245.

I didn't snap a pic of the Dunlop while it was on there. But I posted a pic of the bridgestone on my advan in the previous page.

The sidewall has the same angle as the dunlop in 245.

Yes, it would be stretched though since the ideal tire size for a 9" wheel is 255.

hmmm my proxes are only a few months old, guess I would be better off just stretching them instead of paying 800 bucks for new tires...how bad is it to stretch?

Super late on this reply, but here is 245/40/18 Star Specs. You will rub in the front at full lock and the rear will hit the fenders if you hit a good bump. Or if you have rear passengers even a small bump will make you hit the fenders. I wish I went with 255/35/40 to be honest.
