Tires on 18" sport sedan rims 18x7.5" wheels
Hey i know the stock tire size is 225/50-18 BUT i currently have a set of NEW bridgestone blizzak snow tires from my previous car that have maybe 1000 miles on them...problem is that they are 225/45-18. Is the difference in side wall height going to be a problem or look stupid on these wheels ?
Just looking for some input..

inner clearance and outer position are staying the same since the rims are the same offset and width, the only thing changing is the tire height.
im getting the same Diameter difference: -0.89" (-3.41%)
Now tell me why do you not recommend this ?
Because the speedo ?

Well, i put the tires on Saturday on the rims considering i already had them and i wasnt prepared to shell out all that extra $$ for a NEW set ESPECIALLY since the wheels are on from end of december to end of February. I had them on since saturday like i said and i have driven 42 miles since then and no lights on the dash. I did notice the speedo was a little because in my neighborhood there is a speed sign that shows you how fast you're going and the numbers did vary but not by much so im fine with that.
I appreciate the input.
