Hi All,

I just purchased a set of the 18" Momo Arrow's which I tried to install today but the fronts are rubbing against the body. The
tire size are as follows:

Fronts 245 40 18
Rears 285 35 18

How can I resolve this problem? I really want to keep the 18's for the front.Should I get smaller tires such as 225 35 18 or 235 30 18. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
 
no way unless u remove the inner fender or change ur tire to something 225 or under
 
You got very bad advice when you bought those tires. Not only are they WAY too big - so they'll rub against the fender walls - but your traction control will have problems and won't function. Those tires are almost 12 percent

larger in outer diameter than stock.

Take the wheels and tires back to the place that sold them to you. Exchange the front wheels for 17" wheels and put 215/40-17 tires on them. Exchange the rear tires for 265/35-18. Then you'll be fine.
 
And don't follow the advice to remove the inner fender wells.

If you do that you'll be rewarded with reverse-dinged front fenders. Unless you're building a track-rat race car you won't be pleased.

Ken's advice is good.

True... removing the inner fender is the last but a bad advice..

You should go for smaller front size..
