1. Might be sway bushing causing some of the clunking. Could also be control arm bushing or strut mounts.
2. The factory sizes are 255/45 fronts and 225/50 rears because the rims are 18x8 fronts and 18x7 rears, its cheaper and a better idea to run 245/45/18 all the way around so you can rotate the tires like a normal car. You can still run the tires that are on the car all the way around.
