    245/45/18. Back spacing is the issue. I got +10 rims and had some rubbing.

    Zero. Not sure I would call those low profile in my opinion, got plenty of space between the tire and rim

    No where near the side wall as a standard ST tire and more likely to have side wall pot hole damage. But to each their own. Just wondering if I was missing something but I didn't think so.

    I'm running 245/45R18 on custom 18X9 wheels. No rubbing issues. In my opinion, the trailer pulls much smoother with the "low profile" wheel/tires. Seems to me like it bounces a lot less. Only negative In my opinion is it seems to put more strain on the trailer when making tight turns.

    sblnchrd, Not sure who your asking? Mine are gear alloy manifolds 18x9s +10mm offset. I would look at 0 Offset if I was doing this again. U can see in my pic they drill them for both 5x4.5 and 5x5.
