245/40/18 Tire Rub?

I'm upgrading the wheeles and tires on my 2005 Acura TL to Size -18"x8"

Bolt Pattern - 5x114.3

Offset - +40mm



The recommended tire size is 235/40/18, but I would really like the 245/40/18 tires instead. Some say they will work and other say they will not. Could someone please let me know the truth? My TL is 100% stock. Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks

I have used 4 different brands of tires in 245/40/18 and they work fine, actually looks better than the 235/40/18.

It should be fine with no issues with that fitment. I've heard ppl running 255's without rubbing.

I'm currently on 235 tires on a 8.5 tire with a +30 offset and lowered 1.2 inches and there is no rubbing at all.
