Another Tire Question....

Can you run 245 40 18 and 305 35 18 without issues? I am currently running 235 40 18 and 315 30 18 as my track tire setup on Forgeline rims. Wanted to go wider up front. Rears just a matter of what's available locally for great price...

The 245 up front is common and does not seem to cause issue. Please call me if I can help!

The 245's are not the issue. Just reading some posts about how 305's don't work at all. I find that difficult to believe but if that is the case I will avoid them...

Yes you can run that..
I run 245/40/18 and 295/35/18 on stock rims..
The 245 on a stock 8 rim actually has a bigger Diameter then published spec because that measurement is on a 8.5 rim...I measured.
I have run .5'' difference before for many miles and hard miles on my prior combination with NO problems..
