NOTE ON TIRE SIZE: When choosing a wheel and tire combination, remember that a given tire size can vary from one manufacturer to another. For example, the width of a P245/55-18 tire can differ significantly between brands and even tire styles from the same manufacturer. Even if you have the properly sized wheel, a tire that is an inch or fractions of an inch too large means your wheel/tire combination won’t fit.
