As the title states, I'm looking to grab a set of Hankook R-S4s. I'm a little bit concerned about the width of the tires. I plan to run 235/40/18 on a 18x9 inch rim up front.

Noticed that the width of the R-S4s in that size are pretty aggressive at 8.7 inches. Michelin's Pilot Super Sports already are considered pretty wide at 8.5 inches (same size tire).

Since fitment is going to be pretty tough for me, do you guys think its OK to stretch a 225/40/18 on the 9 incher since it's so wide?
