Hi Guys,

Just wondering if we're able to fit a 245/45 R18 on the front of the BF's?

Thanks.

Ok, I was getting told last night by the tyre dude I wasnt able to fit the 245/45 only the 245/40 otherwise it rub on the arm......

I got them fitted to the back, but if I find out I can do to the front ill swap em around.

I tried 245/45 18 tyres on mine prevoius BA II XR6T 6sp. It had a 4.1 diff in and I wanted to conmpesate to lower the ratio to 3.9. The upsized tyres would have almost acheived this, hiowever,they were to big and the knuckle cut into them. After about 100km I had to change back to the 245/40 tyres. The clearance is there but veryminimal on a jack, but when you put weight on and go over bumps the knuckle cuts into the tyre tread, ruining them.. It was an expensive excercise.

Ahh, yes - sorry, I didn't fully comprehend the question. As mentioned above the 45 side profile would be a little large. My apologies for being a bit mis-leading!
