Very nice. I’m toying with getting some 245/50r18s too. Any issues? Room to drop it eventually too?

Other than its only car tyres you get in this size, so probably won't last as long as a commercial tyre, but otherwise no issues. 104 load rated tyres are available in this size. I think they're a good compromise aesthetically with plenty sidewall for comfort. Just my opinion though.

Thanks for that, that was my thinking too, fills the wheel arch a bit more and some extra sidewall. I’ve got a T32 but the rims and tyres are load rated for it so shouldn’t be an issue. Best get them ordered then!

After all this time, how were these tyres and size in the end. What are you using now? Thinking of moving from 255/45/18 to 245/50/18 - for comfort and to fill a bit more gap. Lowered by 40 mm. T32. Thanks.
