    Looking to use one of my OEM rims (18x9.5) as a spare with a radial (non-directional). On the size I was told by discount that to use the spare on all 4 corners it should match the size of the front which is 255/45Z/R18. The rear currently has 295/40Z/R18 & tires are Nitto NT555 G2. Just...

    Rim / Tire ?

    I'm looking at purchasing 18x9 rims for the front & 18x10 for the rear. Currently the OEM rims are 18x9.5 and they use 255 / 45 / R18 for the front. Will this tire size fit the 18x9 without any issue in tire height or should I consider another tire size for the front? Thanks! Ray
