[Silvi]

Just bought set of wheels and i dont know which tyre profile will be the best.

The rear wheel are 18X10 tyre width will be 245
Front ones are 18X9 will be also 245

What profile is recommended?
Thanks!

IMO it will look a little funny with more stretch in the rear. If I were doing 245's in the rear I would do a 235 in the fronts both being 35 for the profile. The stretch would be even for the most part and a 40 is just too tall again just my opinion. Also depends on what chassis you have.

I dont think that the difference between 10 and 9 will be so visible.
So if i choose profile 40 with 245, when the tyre stretch the profile will be little lower?
I bought them with 285/45 the car looks like a truck with those tyres

That is correct. When the tire stretches, the lower profile will be even lower when stretched. I would go with a 35 but thats just my preference.
