You can get those created yes and they clear brembos like a charm.

Is there a limit to tire size difference from front to rear?

I'm likely going snag a set of 20" wheels off a 5th gen, which have the taller sidewall. I did a test fitment and didn't see any clearance issues. However, the rear tires are fairly new and the fronts are toast. I'm tempted to get the smaller 6th gen size for the fronts, and then do the same with the rears when they wear out. Just worried about possible TCS, ABS, and stabilitrak issues

I forget which site I pulled this off of, but I found this to see the circumference difference

I recommend it just to be safe. Putting a 275/40 upfront will cause rubbing

Sorry, didn't explain he chart well. The 275/40 is the rear size, which I'll likely be keeping.

I'm between 245/40 and 245/45 for the front.

I'd like to go with the 245/40, which is the original 2016 size, but the front wheel would be constant 3.5% faster until i get smaller rears.

But if that 3.5% difference will confuse the computer, 245/45s would keep the front and rear wheel speeds the same but the car sits a half inch higher

My apologies sir.

The issue I see is that when we compare to the widest front that members put 275/35/20 ( in height) it is a 1" shorter difference then the 245/45/20 so you could possibly and most likely rub the spring perch.

Now this may be confusing but allow me to compare

245/40/20 27.7" OD
275/40/20 is 28.7" OD

Thats a 1" OD difference

Compare this to a setup I have done before

275/35/20 27.6" OD
305/35/20 28.4" OD

.8" OD difference

I believe you can get away with it being an additional .2" difference

Those look like my wheels. Please tell me they're my wheels... YESSSS!

Did you inspect them to ensure they have the knurled bead seats?

How long will it take to get the TPMS sensors and Mickey's installed? How long after that will I get them?

Can't wait to slip into my new running shoes and test them out.

Here's a thread where I describe the installation of my new BC Forged wheels and MT DRs: Installed BC Forged Rims & MT DRs

I've included photos and links to my research leading up to this purchase.
