Plus 0 tire sizing?
Can I move from the stock 245/45/17 to 255/40/17 and from 275/40/18 to 285/35/18 without screwing up the handing? Will that little additional rubber matter? Any issues?
Oops...maybe that should be 255/45/17 and 285/40/18...

Assuming you can actually find tires in those sizes, it should be fine. Stock rims are 8.5"F and 9.5"R.Tire Size Calculator

And, as I mentioned previously on many posts regarding Plus Tire Sizing, so does the Falken Tire Company (Falken Beta FK-451's). This specific model tire is a great alternative low cost value on top of being a nicer Plus 0 sizing upgrade from stock. Good luck to you.
