2009 4.6 18” tire size options?

[396chevy]

While I’m betting this has been discussed before, whim not having much luck with the search box.

What size tire will fit on my 2009 4.6 with the factory 18” wheels? I’m running the stock 235/50r18s and I want to go with a bit taller sidewall. I’ve been looking at 235/55r18 but now I’m wondering if I can step up to 245/55r18 without any rubbing or wear issues.

Please post any pictures of bigger tires you’re running.

Thanks in advance!

I ran 235/55/18 when I bought 4 used tires to replace my bald ones to make it through 3 rainy months before I bought my new wheels.. no rub your speedo will be off by about 1-2 mph over 60mph and to me it felt a little floaty fro my taste but I drive spirited so for someone just going from A to B youd be fine
