245/45/17's are 25.7" in diameter

275/35/18's are 25.6" in diameter

The new tires are actually shorter than the old ones by .1"

thank you.. I usually have to explain this one.. its not that hard to go to www.tirerack.com , pick a tire.. go to specs.. and see the overall diamter, but for the 3 years i've been on this forum it still causes confusion.

You should NEVER change wheel diameters.

Uhhh, you gotta be kidding me.

He means diameter of entire wheel...not rim.

Well if anything he is back to stock diameter

 

[derek02gt]

here ya go..car is very dirty, sorry but im lazy.

They better not be 245/40-17.

Looks like an H&R Supersport drop to me. There's less rubber on the side now, plus the wider rims don't sit as far inside the fender as stock 17x8's do. You're just being paranoid, nothing has changed.

Maybe so, but his overall tyre height still increased, not decreased like it would have starting with the 45s.

It probably is like Gino said, just an optical illusion.

Most likely a typo with the "40" anyway.
