Tire fitment question, need help ASAP!
I'm dropping off my TL today to get the A-spec installed and want to know if a 245/40-18 will fit with no rubbing with the lower stance? The standard 235/40-18 leaves a little to much rim out for my tastes and from past experience I would rather have the extra protection. please advise. the dealership says they'll put on whatever I want.

the differences in tires woud be
235/40-18 = 9.6" wide 25.4" tall
245/40-18 = 9.8" wide 25.6" tall
I believe the aspec is about 1" lower so those that are already lower, what do you think?

That site has a lot of good information. It does all the math for you, including how much your speedometer will be affected by the extra 10mm.
In your case, there's a .82mph increase in your actual speed vs. what your speedometer reads.
Oh, and according to the calculator, the widths are actually 9.25 vs. 9.65
