However, I can't stand stretch tires look myself, and need some wider meat to fill the wheel well.

Front: 225/50R18 on 18x8
Rear: 245/45R18 on 18x9

Tentative plan: Swap the current rears to the front and buy wider rears.

Front: 245/45R18 on 18x8
Rear: 295/40R18 on 18x9

Is the 295 pushing it? Stock suspension for now. Wouldn't mind a subtle drop but will see how the swap fills the wells first. I prefer square edge, or even a slight little bulge to stretched. There aren't a lot of 295's in that size so perhaps a 285 instead?

Thanks appreciate the input

Anyone with a similar setup by chance?

245/45 & 275/40's are my combo on stock base wheels...the 275 is about peak with the Nitto 555 G2's@11" section & 10" tread/ measuring the gap between beads is 9", they were a tighter fit than the 275/40 F1 Goodyears before.
245's go easily on the 8" wheel.
