45 Sidewall Height

Hi could I run 225/45/18 and 255/45/18 tires? Stock tires are 40 sidewall height but I want a more comfy ride so I was thinking getting 45 sidewall height instead of 40. Please let me know!

Will need more info. Are you lowered? Stock or aftermarket wheels?

no that's a 3.5% increase in overall diameter and circumference
the rule of thumb is not to exceed 3%

you can downgrade to 225/45R17 if you want more cushion
