Will these be too wide on a 2010?

[shaune]

So I have an opportunity right now I'd like to jump in on. I'm at the tire shop where they have 4 Michelin Primacy mkv4 tires left on clearance. Reg 255.00 Canadian, on for 100.00 each. But instead of factory 235/50/18, they're a bit wider and shorter at 245/45/18. Will they rub when turning at 245 do you think?

Thank you very much

I don't think they will rub, however your speedometer will not be accurate. The number of revolutions per mile are different.

The 245/45-18's are about the same section width (overall width of the tire) but have a 1/2" wider tread and are slightly smaller in diameter (2%) than the original 235/50-18's.
I wouldn't anticipate any rub from these as it's not a huge departure from what you have now.
Your speedometer will likely read a little slow meaning when your car says 100KmH you will actually be going 98KmH.

Thank you very much, gentlemen, I appreciate your input. I ended up buying them. They'll replace my firestone firehawk indy 500.

Great score at $100 each! Let us know how you like them.

They won't rub. I ran 245s on my 2011 4.6 and had no issues
