Default anyone changed tire size for their stock 18 setup?

I am running 235/40/18 on my stock set up since I had a set laying around. Just wondering if anyone has changed the stock 225 front and 255 rear set up at all? Where does rubbing begin. I know on the 235 fronts I get a little bit of rub (almost never) and the rear is obviously fine. Just does not fill as nice as the 255.

What are you opinions and concerns...also I know we all talk tires alot im stuck between either my BF Gforce one directional or Hankooks for the IS this time around (once the 235s are gone).

Give me your feedback!

I have just bought the Michelin PS3 235/40/18 for the fronts, but I am gonna wait untill march before I put them on the car. I was just hoping that they woon't rub..., could you tell me when yours is rubbing?

Do you have any pics of the car with the 235/40/18?

I'm actually about to get some Hankooks and I'm wondering the same. Would the rears fit 265/40/18 instead of the stock 255/40/18?

I want to get the gspyders but they are 8 inches wide all around.. will a 255 look good on a 8 inch?

255/40/18 is a ok, but the 265/40/18 would look a little bit more bold, but i think it should fit without rubbing.

Stock 18s for RWD (well, not stock, they're optional, stock is 17s) are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 in the rear
