I know the first number is the width and the 2nd number is the aspect ratio and the 3rd number is the diameter but i dont know if theres an equation or anything to help me choose. Thanks in advnace

mmm hes not lowered, but i didnt think 245/40/18 was possible cause it'd rub on the inside fender, when you did full lock.

you should see pictures of this dude's car. His car is so high off the ground, these tires aren't rubbing. And the traction patch this guy is putting down looks awesome!
