Why do you want the wider tyres? Not sure they will fit tbh mate

Ive hear'd of people wanting the stretched look so does this mean it's called the squashed look 
I cant see how you could get away with that but why not PM the wheel man for clarification.

took them off wifes new tts cos the buffers on the side didnot protect the wheels u know what i mean 2 scuffed wheels in 2 days of picking it up.

You need to change the wife not the tyres

245s should fit, but you will probably need to go to a 35 profile.  Is the car lowered or altered in any other way?

One issue which may arise with wider boots and/or lowered suspension is very minor rubbing on the top screw of the front wheel arch liner - if so, just remove the screw, and carefully bend the lip upwards slightly.

How low did you go?

Or do I need to search for your "project page"?

the arches line up with the tyers so the car looks as it would be sat on them  project page hasnt been updated for a while

The 245/35/18 is 6mm smaller in diameter than a 225/40/18, take into account the squashing effect and they will be about the same.  TBH, ive fitted 245 to a 7.5 rim before and i diddnt like the look..... each to there own though!!

The so called "rim protector" is a load of rubbish IMO.  How is a small strip of rubber 3mm deep going to stop 1200kg of car from hitting a wheel on a kurb?
