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!

i want 245 sized tires. that would look awesome. Does the tire rub just on the edge of the the fender or is it way inside the fender on the other side of the tire?
