Jeffmilano- My front rim is 9.5 plus 22 offset.

Actually, when you run a 35 series wide tire in a 245, and 255 width, the one with the 255 width will be TALLER and help save the rim.

The Height is just the PERCENTAGE of the WIDTH. SO, a 205/45/18 tire is actualy NOT AS TALL as a 310/35/18.

What i dont understand, is WHY people run a 225/40/18 on these rims? Seriously, isn't it just all the fad? i dont see a purpose to it at ALL. And the sidewall flex is bs if you ask me.... So why?
