Can the Stock 2013 Wheels Fit 245/45/18, 265 /40/18 Fit
 

Hey Guys,

I have a base model 2013 with the below attached wheels. I am going to be buying new tires and want to make sure that the size can fit on my vehicle.

Looking at 245/45/18 and 265/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s and seeing if anyone has done this before. I know you can obviously fit larger tire sizes in the wheel well, but seeing if anyone has fit these size tires on the stock wheels. The stock wheels are 225/50/18 and 245/45/18.

Please let me know all feedback of anyone who has done so. I am really looking forward to the upgrade to the Michelin PS4S as I have heard rave reviews.

Thanks guys and girls

I am in a similar siuation and used THIS WEBSITE which shows the differences in tyres sizes and/or wheel sizes.

Select your car from the dropdown, choose front or rear tyre size, then click on alternate sizes.

Yep w/no problems...you’ll just have some negative rake with a 0.4” shorter tire in rear.
Most common combination is 245/45/18,275/40/18...but I’m seeing the PS4’s aren’t offered in that rear size.
You could go 235/45,265/40 & both be 26.3” diameter vs. the 26.7” of the 245/275 combo.
I ran the first set I listed & many others have as well.
Hope this helps :ugh2:

With you being in Chicago; don’t be scared of the Michelin A/S 3+ tires,,,they can handle the cold weather & knife through the water better + they’re offered in 245/45,275/40/18’s...but it’s your money being spent. :tup:

You are good to go. I am running that setup on my car.

Hello, sorry for hijacking the thread.

I am trying to replace my stock tires on the Base 2017 18".

The front tires still have 5/32 threads left and the rear tires are at 3/32 (the dealer recommended replacing them 5000 miles ago).

I have 30k on all 4 of these. I am trying to replace the rear first with 275/40R18 Pilot SSS as recommended above. Is it possible for me to still keep the front tires as they have a lot of treads left? They are stock at 225R18.

Also, I can't find 245/45R18 for the front from Pilot SSS. Is it possible to put the Pilot 4S in the front while having Pilot SSS in the rear?

Thank you.

I wouldn’t mix/max rubber compounds & 5/32” would be a keeper for a spare,,,but that’s it.
If you were purchasing exactly the same brand tire ,,, with same tread wear..then yes :ugh2:

Also check for cracking between the tread,,,this will happen on summer tires driving up North; probably not in J-Ville :tup:

So which sets of tire do you recommend for the size listed 275 for rear and 245 for front?

Is there any benefits of increasing in tire size beside increased traction & fuel consumption?

Thank you.

Edit: Found the Firestone Indy 500 sets with $60 rebate for cheap!! Thanks again.
