Default Will this rub? 245/40/18 in front
I have stock ISx50 18'' wheels and want to change the front tires from 225/40/18 to 245/40/18 in order to get a little more meat on the road. I already had one blow-out in the front.

Does anyone know if this tire set-up will rub with a 1'' L-tuned drop on my 03 Sportdesign?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

Eric

Not sure if this helps, but I have 225/45-18 in front, I'm far from rubbing...

I have 3GS 18" wheels (similar in spec. to 2IS wheels) with 245/40/18 and 15mm spacers up front and I don't even rub. You'll be just fine.
