I saw some wheels for sale and they come with 235/50/18 tires on them. I looked online to see the ideal size which happen to be 245/45/18. so would that difference be big? would it fit and not be a problem? I personally wouldn't mind a touch more sidewall because of the cushioning it gives.
The difference between a 235/50 and 245/45 is negligible. A 245/45 is roughly 7.25mm shorter. Even then it'll all depend on the brand of tire. Some run a touch bigger, some smaller. You shouldn't have any issues running either at factory height.
The wheels themselves look to be 18x7.5 with a 35 offset. I just wasn't sure if that difference was enough to worry about. It's been awhile since I had to think about wheel specs. Thank you.
since you have a 2nd gen, I would be more concerned if the wheels themselves will clear the bigger front brake calipers.
it would depend on the wheel model and spoke design, or pad (hi, mid, low, etc).
offset has a little to do with this clearance, but it really comes down to the design.
