Looking closer at the wheels I don't care for the tiny sidewalls. So I have a brand new set of 19" run flat wheel and tire set up with 700km on them, to replace they would be $$$$.

I'm thinking I will sell them get a set of 18" with 235/55 or 245/55 summer performance tires, not sure if I'll do run flats. I'm thinking the looks, and ride will be better with the bigger sidewall, and I very much doubt I will loose any performance with a wider softer tire. anyone know if a 245 will fit? The other benefit is the speedometer will be correct.
I think 245 will fit with ET30 will. Let me measure how much clearance I have in the front with 225 in ET35 wheel.
