Help Winter Tires!

I have a set of style 162s and i was wondering if i can run either 225/40/18 or 245/45/18. Has anyone experienced them? Was wondering if they would fit i dont want to make my winter setup staggered.

225/40/18 to 245/40/18 will fit all around. 245/45/18 is too big.

Do you know that 245/45/18 is too big from experience? I got a smokin deal on a couple of that size blizzaks that I'm planning on putting on the rear.

It's only 1.5" larger in diameter.

Can anybody with real experience chime in?

Hey, I normally wear a size 34/34 pants, but I got a smokin deal on a pair of 32/32 (only one size smaller) - can someone with experience tell me if they will fit?

No way on 245/45R18, but you can run 225/40R18 or 235/40R18 on all four wheels with no problem.
