Will a 245 40 18 tires fit on sports pack 18 wheels

[cru22z]

I currently have 235 40 18. So will a 245 40 18 tires be ok on the standard 18 inch wheels?

The Sport Package wheels are "Vicenza" 18x8" alloy wheels.

Try a site such as; Tire Size Calculator - Tire & Wheel Plus Sizing and see what the outcome is.
Also maybe contact some of your local tyres shops and see what they say.

Thanks. I tried the site but don't understand how it works.
Anyone done this change??

Use this one its pretty easy Put what you have in the left one and what you want in the right one it will tell you all the differences at the bottom Does offset as well

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

Sorry I dunno what the ET and the other field is.
All I want is to see if current 235 40 18 Vicenza wheels will fit 245 40 18 on the Vicenza

They'll fit, but they won't feel as sharp to drive on, and will probably be prone to edge wear.

ET is the offset or distance the inner face of the rim sits in relation to the centerline of the wheel Either inside or outside it Plus is further out meaning your wheels have less poke Minus means they stick out further

245/40r18 fit 8"-9.5" rims, so yes they will fit the rims.

Have you got room for an extra 5mm width inside & outside?
Have you got room for an extra 3mm diameter?

How inaccurate is your speedometer at the moment?

Thanks guys. So does extra width make any difference?

245/40/18 will fit no worries on a 18x8
if itll fit nicely on your passat is another question

In real world driving - probably not, but the extra width & diameter look good.

More important is the quality of the tyre
