No Marcy D'Arcy, I think that an extra 6/10ths on an inch in sidewall and a softer tire will make my car more comfortable and not as bone jarring when hitting a pot hole.

UPDATE!

Well I got the tires and then realized that my rear right side Konig Backbone Rim is 45mm offset when the rest are 35mm (necessary as I have front cts-v brakes). I realized this because once the 25/45/18 tire was mounted, it hit my rear BMR trailing arm. Tried mounting it in the front and it hit my brake caliper. I email Konig as the rims are still under warranty. They told me to call discount tire direct as I bought the rims from them. Called discount tire and they tell me the rim is on national back order until mid September. I call at least 15 wheel dealers that carry Konig and none of them have it. So my car sits with the emergency spare abandoned in the street as I will not be able to get a konig backbone until at least the fall. I decided the best solution is to buy a single black 18"x8" rim with a 35mm offset that caN CLEAR cts_v 4 piston calipers and that kind of matches the other 3 rims so I can at least drive my car for the rest of the summer.

I ask all the aftermarket wheel experts to suggest a temporary rim for me to buy so I can drive my car until I can get the Konig replaced with a proper 35 mm offset rim in the fall. I don't mind if the rim is not black as I can plasti dip it black.

those 3 piece ronal teddy bears are worth more than most of your cars.

No Enrique I am not putting teddy bears on my car. They look like a negative RWD offset too.
