Car is lowered and fenders are rolled. Will that tire size be good for me?

Hit or miss on fitment by tire model. 235/40-18's would be better.

Bridgestone Potenza S-03s is what I was looking at.

S03s run real wide so maybe 245/35/18? if they make that size.

They Don't. Damn. Guess I'll look for another tire.

TireRack has a great deal on the 245/40/18 S-03s right now and I love those tires. Poop.

For what it's worth, I LOVE my S-03's. They're in 235/40/17, though.

the 235 s03 is like a 255 for some tires

i use 235 40 18s on an 18x8.5 and rub a little, with that tire you dont want to go any wider.
