18x9 Tire size - 245 40 18 - will this be too small for 2GS?
Hello All,
As the title states, does 245 40 18 tire be too small for 18x9? This will be my front wheel/tire combo for my 2GS.
Pics are welcome! I hope i will not bend my wheel.

you are fine. I have the same size on 18x8 on all four corners and its fine. You are only slight larger then that. What is the offset? that would be the only thing that could cause you to rub. If you are +35 or higher on the offset then you are fine running that tire size. What rims did you get??

Thank you for the response. Just did an impulse buy for (2) Dunlop SP9000 tires for $206 from a shop.
i should be fine with the offset.
Just picked up a new set of OEM wheels. 18x9 all around w/ factory +45MM offset
245 40 18 Dunlop SP9000 Front
255 40 18 Dunlop SportMaxx Rear
New offset with spacers:
Front offset: +30MM = (45MM-15MM spacer)
Rear offset: +25MM = (45MM-20MM spacer)
i should be fine with the offset.
