How to determine wheel and tire height?
Ok, so as most of you have probably seen my other post about my wheels rubbing, I have a question about what size rims and tires to get for my car.
How do you determine the overall wheel and tire height? As in, if I have 16x8 with 225/60/16 on there now and want to go to a 18x8 245/40/18, how would I calculate the overall wheel and tire height? I just want to be sure that I am not going to continue to have the rubbing problem, by keeping the same height tire and wheel.

Cool, so if I get these rims and tires, the car would look something like this. I would have to lower it an inch or so though. What do you think?
