Default Tire size mess up. Need help.

The guy at tire rack ordered the wrong size for me 235 40 18 instead of 245 40 18. Should I keep the 235 40 18 or refuse the shippment and re-order for 245 40 18. I purchased the p zeros suggested here on the forum. Please help asap.

If you bought shoes a half size too small would you keep them ?

What is the WIDTH of the rim you are putting these on ?

They will still work just fine - just smaller than you wanted. It's not like shoes that won't fit.

What size wheels and are they staggered?

I say make him re-order the correct size. I don't like a "stretched" looking tire and you may get that look...again depending on the width of your rim. Since we don't know how wide your rim is I would assume that the size you ordered is perfect. Make them order you what you wanted.

If you wanted 245s and still do, you should get what you paid for.
