    Wrong size
    Rs are 235/45 not 245/35
    You will not get them in your wheel wells

    R's are 235/40. Those are 18's

    They'll fit with spacers, no?

    Wow. 35 series tires. Better set 4C to comfort or you'll feel every pebble in your tailbone!!!! (or your pocketbook when you get a bent rim!!)

    Enjoy the ride. Must handle like a monster!

    A 35 is not a 40, it WILL rub badly and may not work at all

    Why would a 35 rub more than a 40? Wouldn't it have a thinner sidewall?

    It's all in the relationship with the sidewall height
    Here's a comparison site, go play...

    It's a dumb size for an R and compared to stock, it's actually smaller.
    But, you know how much room inside the wheel wells you have to play with, not much at all and 1/4" difference can make or break you in an R

    about 3 weeks i know if they rub the car
    i had already modified the steering bumps the turning circle is now gigantic butt its ideal with the 245 tires

    look @ this topic
    http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...d-15mm-Spacers

    245-40-18 with 10 mm spacers @ the front and 15 mm @ the rear and tyre rub @ the rear fender with load
    i have 245-35-18 and dont use spacer so the tyres will fit on my V70 without tyre rub
