considering some new 18 x8 wheels. et43, was thinking of running a 235/55/18 but it's slightly smaller than the 17 factory wheels then. So maybe a 245/55/18.. I'm lowered on Eibach springs.. Any concern that the 245/55/18 would rub? Offset calculator shows inner of wheel 17.7mm closer to strut and outside of wheel pushed out about 7mm..

I have 245/60/18 tires on my lariat with stock suspension and no rubbing. I believe that is the biggest tire you can fit with stock suspension. You might get rubbing with it lowered, but can't say for sure.

Ended up with 235/55/18. Look pretty good and ride is comfortable. Will probably get some coilovers to lower more

Was wondering the same thing with the 245/55/18 for mine when its time. Thanks for putting it out there.
