Winter Tire Size Question
Hey everyone,
I am shopping for winter tires to put on my stock 135 rims. I found a local set of Blizzaks for sale and I am wondering if they will fit since they are not the stock sizes. Sizes are: Front tires are 235/40R18 and rear tires are 245/40R18 Will this be compatible with 135? Thanks, Patrick |

They are pretty wide for a snow tire IMO

Go narrow. With wide fronts, you will have to push more snow. Not a good idea with a RWD.
