Default Help! New Tires 2014 GT

Hey guys! I'm looking to upgrade to wider 255 tires from 235s. Will 255s fit all around with no rub or problems? Also, what sidewall size would you recommend? 255/35R18, 255/40R18, 255/45...etc. And what tire brands do you all prefer as a good bang for your buck? Thanks!

I have 255/45R18 all round. No issues and since the tire diameter is the same as stock, there was no need to correct the speedo either.

https://tiresize.com/calculator/
Use ^that to compare your OEM to others, height and width, rotations and so on, with
tire comparison tab. It will also recommend other rim size to retain stock diameter
with the tire calculator tab.

They're W-rated (168mph) Dunlop SP Sport Maxx which are pretty good all season tires.
