My rim size is 18 X 10, with 295 35ZR18 tires. I am wanting to upgrade to a 305 45ZR18, however I am wondering if the tire will fit the wheel well, or if it will cause the tire to rub. I am wanting to make the change asap, so any information received will be appreciated.:read:

Is that a typo on the sidewall? you went from a 35 to a 45, so the second tire is 'taller' than the first. if the 35 series fits I'd stay with a 35 series for the new tire. Try doin a search I know a lot of the 03 guys were goin up in size I think i saw 335 dr's.

Man thats' gonna be close. My friend runs 275/40/17(F) 315/35/17(R) and he rubs on hard hard cornering. Plus, I think he's made some mods to in the inner fender well to give him some extra room. Try taking a measurement on either side with your 295's and see how much room you got with those 18's, then figure out the width on a 305. Good luck!
