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

I wanted to do 255s up front as well in an effort to minimize understeer a bit.

Thx Heezy, that's what I thought. I just need someone like you who had tried it to share.
P.S. I actually did it on all my other cars before

what are you trying to say? bigger rims give better protection?? bad driver needs bigger rims?? what? what? what?
bad driver needs smaller rims
I think you are thing of thr tyre not the rim.
I don`t think 20" with 275/30/20 low profile is going to be better protection
