Thank you so much. There's times where I miss it, but a good 2nd gear pull in the coyote makes up for it. I actually got the wheels at American Muscle. I like how the face of the wheels was still machined but the barrels and he insides of the spokes were black. I caught them on clearance. $400~ for all for wheels. Tired I sourced from my dealership.
You might have better luck getting 245/45-18 and 275/40-18 in the same tire make/model.
The diameter differences from 255/45 and 285/40 work out to be about 3/8", or about 3/16" more lowering and 3/16" more tire to fender clearance (which you probably won't ever notice without using a steel tape or other measuring device). Technically, you should inflate these slightly smaller tires about 1 psi higher than you would the 255/285 combination, which in turn might not want exactly the same inflation pressures as your OE tires.

I have 18x10 square setup with 275/40-18 and there is definitely more fender gap than with my old 18x9 255/45-18 setup. I never looked at the tire diameter when I got them.

I'm betting that imagination and maybe wheel offset and tire tread width differences had something to do with that.I have 18x10 square setup with 275/40-18 and there is definitely more fender gap than with my old 18x9 255/45-18 setup. I never looked at the tire diameter when I got them.

If your old 255/45-18's were more worn than about halfway to the wear bars, they would have been very close to the diameter of new 275/40-18's and had the same "fender gap".
Did you also notice the 0.15"-ish lowering that the new tires gave you?
