There is a reason I didn't tell you to put 255/40 in the first place. It is too tall and will very likely rub on the fender liner and the metal behind it. It can be done, but involves some work.

so u think 255 35 18 or 265 35 18 would be better..
245 40 18 would be to stretch for 9.5 ?

Not what I said at all. 255/35 will fit without issue if you have rolled fenders but will give you more wheel gap. 265/35 will require more work to have it fit since they are wide.

Someday my car will be in this thread.

canaryrx - If you had a frame you'd be laying rail, put some blocks under it and teach the sport tuners how to drag. lol
