Ultimately, I was wanting to run AR Torq Thrust IIs on my truck. I had settled on 18s with 245/45-18. I've seen this size on several trucks and thought the overall diameter and sidewall height looked right.

I found a set on CL but they have 245/40-18 mounted on them. What do you think, will that be too small of a sidewall and diameter, or do you think there wouldn't be much noticeable between the 40 and 45 series tires?

Currently I have 205/70-15 which has a diameter between the two.

205/70-15 Side Wall 5.6 Diameter 26.3
245/40-18 Side Wall 3.9 Diameter 25.7
245/45-18 Side Wall 4.3 Diameter 26.7

Thanks,
HUSSEY
