Default Proper tire size...
Ideal size is 225/40/18.
235/40/18 or 235/35/18 would work also. Every manufacture has slightly different overall rolling diameter. As long as you are not over 1.5% above or below your stock tire rolling diameter, it should be fine. 245/40/18 is too wide and too tall for the car.

Default did you grab one of those stock VTEC cams for me?
They would be perfect for rolling my fenders!
