215/45/18(stock) to 220/40/18

Can this be done?

I went to tirekingdom today and this guy told me that it might be better to go with this size. That it would increase handling a little bit. Is this true?

Im assuming you mean 225 40 18, and yes it works fine...... If your feeling daring enough I would go 235 40 18. Im planning on 245 40 18, Yes I plan on a little rubbing but Ive always got tricks up my sleave

I just put RX8 wheels (slightly different offset) with 225/40/18's on. So far no rubbing with MS coil overs at 90% drop.

I have 235/40/18s installed with no rubbing issues...

Out of curiosity, is that on stock wheels or aftermarket, if so what's the offset?

If a tire retailer told me this, I'd walk.. wait, I'd run away.
