the OEM size 225 60 18 is approximately equal to 245 55 18 in rolling circumfrence, and easily fits the stock wheel...There should be no clearance problems and minimal odemeter/speedometer changes. But I see tire rack only has Goodrich T/A KDWS for 89.00 tire.
BUT go to a 245 50 18 (about 1/2 inch lower profile sidewall) and there are tons of choices. Be warned, if you don't like a lot of space between your tire and fender well, this may not be the best option because a 1/2 inch is a big difference as a percentage to the whole. It may look funky but you at least would have a much better performance tire than stock.
I would like to upgrade to just 19" wheels (like my comfort) but I just haven't found the right ones yet. And I can't afford them anyway...That Visa is burnin a hole in my pocket, though! Hope that helped
