i know when i get bigger rims im slapping yokohama paradas on them, 215/45/17 i dont like super thin tires

225/40/18's are BIGGER than 215/45/17's..

Here is a little rundown on tire sizing.. 225/40/18 for example

225 = the distance across the tread measured in millimeters.
40 = 40% of the distance across the tread = the side wall height
18 = the rim size (if you couldn't figure that one out lol)

a 225/45 would REALLY mess up the speedometer.. the 225/40's are already bigger than stock.

You guys should really research tire sizing..

theory is correct, but i think you need to redo your math

Well yes the side wall will be slightly larger, but overall a 225/40/18 tire is bigger than a 215/45/17 tire
