will 245/45R18 fit on my 07 GT?
I currently have 235/50R18 tires on my 2007 Mustang GT. Just wondering if 245/45R18 will fit without any problems.

So long as you have an 8" wheel, it will fit no problem. Your speedo/ODO will be off a bit on the high-side, so you should use a tuner to correct it

^ What he said. You can fit up to 255 to be safe and maybe 265.

When you say tuner, you are talking about those SCT handheld tuners, correct? If so, what is the revs/mile in 245/45r18 tires?

Do you think the 245 will look too small on the car?

Measure your wheel gap, i usually leave about a .5-1 inch inch gap all around.
