I doubt he does cuz I used to be lower than that when I first got the coils last year.

I had 245/45 on the rear & I was fine,so id guess hes fine on the rear & fronts

Can you all help me with something? I am replacing my rear wheels with the same wheels but in 18x9.5 +45 (instead of 18x8 +35) I am having the rear fenders rolled this weekend. I can't make a decision between 265/35 or 275/35 tires. What do you think? Keep in mind I like my 245s on the 8s in front so I like a relatively wide tire, so I think a 255 on the 9.5 would just not look right for me...also on Tein S-Techs, no camber kits and no plan to get any. Also this is not my daily anymore for whatever that is worth. Thanks!

Looks like 275/35 will get you closer to the tire height of 245/40. I used the following chart for reference. With that said, I am not sure if it will rub or not.

I have 255s on a 9.75" wheel & it looks good imo,275 will look too beefy & of course rub

If you get 265,there might be a chance of rubbing too but its all up to you

I think that combo is about 52mm wider toward the fender than stock whereas what I am proposing is only about 39mm further than stock. In any event thanks both for the info. I will make a decision from here.
