Default will these work??

Hello everyone,
I am looking at changing up some things on my car. I was wondering if a 305/45/18 would fit without problems in the back. Thinking i want the drag radial look on my car. Trying to find the best way to get them on my car. Thanks everyone!!

should be no problem running that in the back. I am running a 315/30/R18 in the back on factory rims.

Default Speedo Error

That change would make a 10% difference in your speedometer reading. 60 mph indicated would actually be a little over 66 mph. I'm not sure if there is a way to re-calibrate the speeodo or not.

Other than that, the change would probably look better. It would fill the wheel opening a little more - which I think would be a good thing.

Good luck
