okay, I am going to ditch the RFT, and getting NON RFT! These RFT jumps when I break harder (ABS not kicking in yet)
Has anyone try 255/40/18 insteadl 245? would it be too wide? thanks

But you can also buy ie the Styling 124 wheels. (I suppse you what the Style 123 now)?.
This way the rear tyres would be 275/35 18" but the FW still 245/40 18".
