Got new 18 inch rims for the wagon. 235/40/18 tires.

Super lows up front and lows on the back seems to be a common combo. shouldnt have any probs getting this on my wagon should i?

its 3rd gen btw.

Shouldn't have any probs as long as the offset of the wheels is right

Whats your wheel offset. I've got superlows front and rear on 18x8" wheels with 235/40's, no issues, offset is +35. Only problem I have is a little bit of scrubbing when I turn full lock right, but thats because my wheel arch lining is stuffed, not a fault of the wheels or suspension.

mate i've got 245/40's on mine and have no troubles what so ever
no scrubbing or anything and im running the superlow/low combo
only problem you might have is if you lower it more

Anyone tried 245/40R19s? 2 of the tyres on my 19s which are on their way are that size. Only marginally larger than 215/60R16s. Other 2 are 245/35R19 which I know is fine.

put the two 245/40's on the rear of the car as the rear wells have alittle more room
but depending on the offset you should be fine :)

If a 245/35/19 fits ok and you want to go to 245/40/19 your main problem will be only if the tyre is now too high and fouls on the suspension.
