I have an old thread out there from last year with lots of pics of 245's & 265's PSS. Find that and you will get a view of what they look like. I had stock suspension at the time.

12 inch spacers would be a sight to see.

Will I run into any problems if I run

Front 245/40 18

Rear 275/35 18

Can i just buy tires that size and slap them on? Or are there other things I have to do in order to run sizes that big?

My car is stock besides exhaust and tune.

A. It doesn't look bad at all

B. Tiny, thin profile tires are not going to be your friend

C. You are protecting your wheels more than you can imagine by running that aspect ratio

Unless your car is just a show piece, I would HIGHLY recommend you sticking with the sidewall height you have. But hey, it's your car
