Tire diameter increase
Guys,
I am thinking of increasing my car tire size from 225/40/18 to 225/45/18
and the rears from 255/35/18 to 255/40/18
do you think there would be rubbing issues?
Thanks!

or you could go 10mm wider around for more grip. I went with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. PSS are a lot more square than stock tire sizes so it was bigger than I expected but no rubbing

May go down this route thanks
stock ER33 are thin even though my pilot super sports are 10mm wider with the same aspect ratio, the sidewall is a lot thicker

4TehNguyyen, do you have those mounted on the stock rims? Reason I ask is because 265/35/18 PSSs are recommended for rim widths 9 to 10.5 inches - stock 18 rims in the back are 8.5 inches wide. If on stock rims, any issues with rim width? Any issues with installers? I've heard of people trying to install non-recommended tire sizes having to sign away any right to recourse due to non-recommended fitment. Thanks for any info. PatrixUSA

Maybe the width contributed to additional height?
not all tires are sized the exact way its calculated, you can get two 225/40/18 and they would be different sized. Stocks seem to be on the small side. Some tires are more square on the sidewall than others.
