"18 tires question?
After I rotate my tires today I notice that my driver side F&R tires are split on the inside walls. I then plan to replace them and found these tires on Tire Rack on sale and wanted to know anyone here at NAM have them on their 18” Wheels? I have 215-3518 and wanted to change to 225-40-18 tires. Any feedback would be appreciated.

225/40/18 will be a "little" too big unless you like rubbing
I've got 215/35/18 with SPAX coilovers with no issues
and 215/40/18 with stock suspension also with no issues
225/40 would be a big jump in tire size and you might even take a perfomance hit due to the increased tire size, I'm also guessing that you'd rub quite a bit.

225/40/18
I just put 225/40/18 Nitto 555 on my MCS! They do rub a little but they are super sticky & fill the wheel well nicely. My care is not lowered. When my gas is low they don't rub nearly as much.
