Has prob been asked before, but cant find it so here it goes again lol

Putting the 18 x 8 lenso's on my 380, fronts are 42 offset, rears are 35. (Only like this as this is how they came and figure will tuck the fronts in under the guards a little anyway)

I have calculated 235 x 45 x 18 will be a decent fit and should give a little bead protection

Just wanting to know if anyone else has 18 x 8 and what sizes are being run at the moment and if any issues.

The above will give me near to original rolling etc that it is not even worth worrying about, if these are the best to use and will clear I will go with them

I run 245 40 18 kumho on mine, Their a but more expensive but it is much wider and gives you the bead protection you want. 235 45 18? Never heared of that size before.....235 45 17 yeah but 18? Must be thinking of the 235 40 18.

That is a negative ghostrider lol

Here (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-235-45-18-KUMHO-KU31-TYRES-HONDA-EURO-PEUGOT-/290639208991?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ab72621f) as an example, there is like only .3mm difference in the overall diam of these tyres

The 245 show as being nearly 15mm smaller, not sure if I want to go down this path to be honest. I assume you are running 18 x 8....wonder if the 245 will be overkill on the 8" rims

235/45 is what you want, they are the best fit. My 18's run 235/40 on the magna and these were way too out for the 380, however the tyres were so much cheaper :(.

I've been pricing wheels/tyres and I've found 19's to be cheaper, some places are quoting a full wheel/tyre combo for less than or equal to the price of 4 18's @ 235/45 :(.

Mal i run 245s on 8" wide rims, havent had any problems.
also not sure if you want to consider but if make the overall circumference same as my 245/35/20 which i think is a little larger than stock? you correct your speedo so 100 is actually 100 (like when tested with GPS). up to you?
