Default Tire ? I have 18 X 8 ASA wheels ET+37offset.. What do I need to do to fit my 245/40/18 tires ?

I already have the snow tires, so I need to make these fit on the wheels that I have. The tires are Dunlop Winter Spot M3's. Is anyone running 245/40/18 tire out there on 18 x 8's with a 37mm offset? could I use a spacer to make this work? The car is a 2000 S4 with volgtland CO's and its pretty low with rolled front fenders. TIA

Default oh , ok ;p

i think i've seen 245/35/18 .. 245/40 are pretty big.
if you have everything .. i'd just mount one wheel and 1 tire .. put it on the front and back and see .
sj6psd runs 245/40/17 on the oz sl 18x8 with no problems.

Default He's prolly not going to clear the rear upright with a 245/40/18 and 37 et.

In fact, i doubt he's going to be able to make them fit without rubbing, unless they run narrow or he has a bunch of negative camber up front. prolly a 5ish mm spacer in the rear and adjustable ucas in the front. but, he can try them and hope:-)
