    I probably sound stupid, but if the rim was on 235 tire, don't I need a new 235 tire? 245 would work on the rim?

    yes, stupid question. u can put other sized tires on a rim. 245/45 is the perfect size for 18 in wheel.

    I have a 2006 GXP. I am ready to replace my tires.
    I have 245/45R/18's and stock Alcoa wheels all around that came with on the car when I bought it used, but I am leaning towards getting a staggered set to oem specs.
    I dont see anyone talking about stock tires. I know they are expensive. ( I will be paying $1025 out the door at Discount Tire here in Jax, FL.)
    Other than cost are there any other compelling reasons I shouldn't go with 255/45R/18's upfront and 225/50R/18 out back?
    Do that set up perform badly?
    Do they wear out quickly since I cant rotate?
    Does mileage suffer.
    Do they look weird?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
