245/45/18?

Should these fit without rubbing my front inner fender well? I'm having trouble with them rubbing when I take a sharp turn. I have 4th gen wheel with 2 in adaptors. Rick

For the front, anything much bigger than a P245/50R16 will rub,, thats 25.67" OD. For some people running P255/50R16s on the front, they rub. The 255 is 26.06" in OD.

A P245/40R18 should not rub, its diameter is 25.71".
