If you have a 300A, the tires will work well, just adjust the the rear airbag sensor to keep same tire clearance.
If you have traction control, you will have problems.

There is a procedure in the Service Manual. Do a search and you should be able to find the procedure. I don't have it readily available.

Doing fine, enjoying the Marauder. Bowling, Yard Work, and other Volunteer work keep me pretty busy.

Those tires are probbably the ones with "Mount this side in" stamped on the wrong side. Make sure you mount them opposite to that.

I'm betting they won't work on the front.

how would i know if those are it? so you think i should just go with the 245/50/18 all around?

The squiggly tread pattern is supposed to be on the same side as the "Mount this side in". They stamped them wrong. If you are getting these for $115, that's what they are. I have them on my car. Don't worry about it.

The standard rear is 245/55/18. I'm assuming this is the tire we are talking about.

Old thread, I know. But I was considering re-sizing to this size and was wondering if anyone else had done it yet.

It's an inch shorter than OEM.

I had 245/50R18's on all 4 corners on my 03, at that point I cared more about tire rotation than the stagger look. It looked fine and fit fine. I did have one cut coil on the factory springs up front.
