245/45/18 on front of C36 Fit?

Does anyone know if 245/45/18 tires will fit on the front of a 96 C36? Suspension is stock.

would most likely rub outside and inside guard,
step up to a 235 first and see how bad it rubs, instead of going to that big first time

none
Do a search and get the right size from what others have mounted. A 45 series ain't gonna cut it.

225/40 front and 255/35 rear are the widest you can safely install without a chance of rubbing.

they will rub. If you still don't have enough traction at those widths either improve suspension for better grip or improve tire quality (or both). What tires are you running currently (brand/model)?
