Good Morning, Im not to experienced in the rim and tire game. I am in the market for new tires, Currently i am running 245/45/18 snow tires, i would like the same size tires but a little wider.
The end goal here is to have my rims and tires be flush with the fender wall, and i do not want to lower my car. What tire size and if need be.... how big of wheels spacers will i need to accomplish this goal.

All things like this being subjective, you'll save yourself time and angst if you accept that you can't have one without the other. A flush fit at OEM height exasperates perception of the gap. It just does. Hard stop. I know you're looking for answers and not advice... but everyone who replies to this comment will say the same.
G'luck with whatever you decide. Those are fine wheels.

I have to agree with Rochester there. There's really no point in spending money on spacers and wider tires if you're not going to complete the look by lowering the car. It's going to look awkward. Also I wouldn't go any wider than the 245s you already have on those wheels, I believe they are 18x8? Any wider and they will look like SUV wheels with the bulging sidewall.
