I'm trying to recall but the number that jumps out to me for base 18" rears is something like 22lbs. Knowing the 275 RE11 I've been running are 31lbs that should be roughly 54lbs, so really I'm looking at an extra 3lbs with the new wheels and 345's. I can live with that. Good thing the new rims are lighter though to compensate otherwise it would have been real easy for the weight to be much greater than it's going to be.

Thanks for making me contemplate these things more specifically than I otherwise may have.

The 3% difference in diameter remains the piece I'm curious about how it will affect the end result now.

Progress.

Left: 245's which is what my car started life with on the rears
Middle: 275's I upgraded to before the nipples were off the OEM tires. 245's up front at this point
Right: 345 the new rear beef. The 275's are going up front now

Haha love this pic

The perspective makes it look like they are MUCH wider than they are. Though they really are frickin massive!

Apparently these things are way out of measurement until mounted. I was warmed about measuring them beforehand (which I already did of course lol) and would just scratch my head and wonder how they were going to work if I did.

So, somewhat heeding that advice albeit after the fact, I'll be patient and relatively confident about their fitment until the wheels arrive and can actually air them up.

I can see how they would be different in their most aired down un-mounted state; the rubber is so soft you can pretty much manipulate the entire tire by hand. Gosh, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if one could mount them without a tire machine

use some good "Murphy's" tires soap or equivalent & you can...may have to put the backside of wheel hub on top of something,to keep tire from working against you.

Sounds like it is only available in 25lb containers, which probably costs as much as mounting them. Since I'd be surprised if I'd ever use it again it's not worth it.

Wonder if there is a substitute. Or maybe I should just leave it well enough alone since I need to take the TPMS out of the old ones anyhow.

Go with the spare pressure recommended
read the sidewall of the spare. Its usually 45 to 60 psi.

Start with about 35 psi. See how it rides and handles. Don't go with the spare tire psi. The spare tire if a space saver is constructed differently then the regulate tire.
