No issues. I was pretty low so I had to do the fender screw mod. Other than that, I was able to drive with full car and a roof box and I just got some minor rubbing on the back fender liner.did you have any fitment issues with these?

A couple of questions:
1. Are 245 Indy 500's too wide for an 8" wheel?
2. Would 245/40/18 Indy 500 rub in the front? Wheels: 8" wide, et45. Drop: 1"-1.5".
I found them to run really narrow, I think 245 will be perfect for 8" width, shouldn't rub - maybe just on the screw.
Don’t forget to check tread width on Tire Rack.
FIREHAWK INDY 500
235/40R18
Tread Width: 7.8"
That's where Section Width comes in:True. But treadwidth does not measure the entire width of the tire.

Woah, narrow? Interesting, I've been hearing they run wide like the Michelin Pilot Sport.
I removed the screws a while ago after buying 235/40 MPS A/S3+.
Well, I added 245 Indy's to my list now.
They have very bulbous sidewalls but the actual contact patch is tiny, the sidewalls aren't very square which means you're able to fit wider than expected as the sidewalls give it that stretched effect without actually stretching and going down widths.
Thanks for sharing your observations. Sounds like you have direct experience running them. Do you recommend them as a summer performance tire?
