Best would be a 225/40-18 or somewhere close to that... 245's would be way to wide... I could be wrong, Maybe someone else with 18's would be more helpful... ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec ~RIP~Connie~1/21/02 ~Mods~ E0 SVT Rims~205/55R16 Goodyear American Eagles~ ~Mods to come~ H&R springs~Konis~Coilovers~17x7 Millie Miglia Avia~215/45R17 S-03's~SVT body kit~98+ OE Spoiler~CAI~Brullen Cat-Back~Turbo (or 2):)~ More to come

A 245/40 profile tire is going to be really thick. Run your numbers through the Tire Size Calculator and you'll see what I mean. As well, it will rub. Bad. Doesn't mean that can't be fixed though. Delete the fender liners and roll the metal fenders. Run spacers to clear the suspension springs. What a pain in the azz though, get the right size and you'll thank yourself.. 2000 GTI 1.8t 1998 Ford Contour SVT - FOR SALE!! PM me for details
