If the sidewall is angled, they ARE stretched. Your sidewalls roll under your wheels at the ground. If your tires aren't stretched, you don't get that look, the sidewalls will be vertical.

You cant go wrong with the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11! Just got them yesterday and i love them. The ride will be harsher because the sidewalls are quite a bit stiffer. As far as will 235/45/18 fit I'm not sure. I for some reason think you might have some rubbing.

I have beenresearching tires a lot lately...discount tire and tire rack have the deals. I would go tire rack for selection and discount for price and free shipping. 235 4018 is my choice, the rogue is the widest wheel you can find i think....altho i have 9.0 ccw in 17's .
Avon 550 at 117 is a good buy I think, if not the best buy, but I am swayed toward the Dunlop Direzza, not the Direzza star, as it seems to combine handling and wear - and a sideway rib protector which is essential if you want to keep your wheels good day in and day out - for a good price - but cost more than the avons. I track tested the avons excellent handling balance but cant speak to how that compares to the Avons for aftermarket sale really, as what i had were develoment tires and you never know how the tire is that gets sold non-oem. So. Discount have some MB wheels compare to Rogue but not as wide with 4 tires (Pirelli) for 1162. I have the american wheel rogues in 17 good wheel.
also Dezod have enkei wheels very nice. but you already have the roques....anyway my 2 cents

Well **** no one can tell me for sure.
The guy who had them before me was lowered on sportlines and ran 235/40/18’s and was rubbing. Any more input on my options?
If I get 235/40/18’s and DONT lower it I am sure I will be fine, but it will look like ass with the wheel gap

NGA is running a sale on the rims though. I had to send them some pics to give to Enkei since nobody has these rims yet
Here is the link:

Stock height 255 40 18's front and back on 18x8 wheels
I have KDW's and have 50,000 miles on them as of now with another 5,000 or so to go.
No rubbing. Wanted American Racing Rougus but not available at the time when I just had to have some wheels.

As noted in subject line stock height
I believe I could drop an inch but that would be it. clearence is closer right to left than top to bottom Could go to 35 series to decrease height as well.
