Im running 255 45 on stock height. A bit taller but maybe helps for reference. Keep in mind the wider tire equals better traction, better braking but worse gas mileage.

Im not sure what wheel width ngolbuff is running but I dont see 255 on a 8.5 being a problem .I'm on 285 rear on 9.5 wide but the height is still the same at 27" I believe. It gives a bit more tire around your wheel rim to protect from curb rash.
Up too you. 245 or 255 but I do like ngolbuff setup

You're welcome. 245/45/18 is a stock size for rear tires on a rwd S car, fronts were 225/50/18. If you have an X trim, I think you'll be ok with a square set up with the 245/45/18 size all around.
My stinger came with 225/45/18. The OE tires were trash (bridgestone re97as-02). I went with 245/40/18 michelin ps as4. This kept the stock diameter (within a few revs/mile) and fit the the 18 x 8.0 wheels. I may go with 245/45/18 next time for a more comfortable ride... we'll see.

Worth every damn penny, I love these cars. I just don't know jack about tires.

Did you claim your rebate for the tires from fitment industries? Did this other shop over you a rebate?If you haven't I would try doing it from the new shop for lack of ease or confusion. Thats if you were wanting it.

Michelin has a 60 day trial period, why not make a claim using that?

I don't know what fitment industries is, but I suppose this is a good lesson learned...
