Tire size fitment on oem wheels!
Do you guys think it's possible to run 245/40/18 on the oem 18" wheels ? I need to buy new tires already because those potenza are already go bald by 15k and during the rain I have absolutely no traction what so ever.

Yeah I know the numbers mean but I was wondering if it will fit on our stock oem wheels ? Which are 18x7.5 I think

right, I was confirming on the wheel and tire specs....
and I think you are wrong, as I checked the interwebz.
the factory 18s are 18x8.5
the factory 17s are 17x7.5
I would not be comfortable putting 245's on the 17x7.5's as 7.5inches is too narrow for a 245mm wide tire.
However, if you do have the 18x8.5, then you will have no problem putting on the 245mm tire, as 8.5inches is in the correct range for a 245mm wide tire

The 4 Cyl is 17 also 7.5
I'm in the same boat, I'd like to get a thinner profile from a looks perspective since the 50 series is sooooo tall but I'm not sure if I want to give up the performance, ride quality and road noise to do it.
