Default G-spyders have to come on
I have a set of g-spyders i want to put on this summer. They are wrapped around in 245/40/18. The problem is 2 of the tires are no good. I can get a really good deal on 255/40/18 michelin pilot sport a/s. Would i have any problems running this tire size in the rear? I did a search but could not find much info on this size in the 2gs forum

btw all of my rims are 18x8

How low is your car? Is it tucking tires right now? If not, then you are perfectly fine. I run 255/40/18 tires all the time on 8" wheels.

No problems at all unless you are lowered. But I wouldn't do 255, but that's just me.

If you don't put spacers in the rear you will be fine.
