Question OZ Ultraleggera

So I purchased OZ Ultraleggeras off a local for $350 and brought them to get fixed and powder coated for another $350. im lowered on H&R springs and I'm wondering if I can get by with 245/40 street tires on the car without any problems.

Do you know what offset your wheels are?

I'm running 245/40R17 tires on 17X8 wheels with +40mm offset no rub. I am also on Powell's YYZ v.5 springs so I am probably a bit higher than you as well so can't say for sure.

Unless you are significantly lower than me I would think you could run those tires just fine with those wheels.

I think you may be a bit lower than me. And thinking about it on 18" rims with the same ratio you should have a bigger overall diameter than me (I'm new to tire sizing so I'm not sure) and that could definitely cause problems combined with being lower.

I would think you would be fine. Back may stick out a little. May want to do 245 front and 235 back.

The previous owner of my car and these wheels had 225s on them because that's what tire rack suggested to him supposedly.
