18" tire sizes

[SicMonte]

I was just wondering what you out there are running on your 18" rims? I am looking into buying some 18x10's and dont really know what to use. Any ideas?

I ran 275/45/18 on mine

Do you think that tire would fit on a 10" rim?

and can I get some pics of that tire set up on your car? This is the size I am thinking about for my car...

I am using a 285/35r18 on my 18x10's, but planning on going to a 295/35 when these wear out.

Here's a 305/35 Nitto N555R drag radial on an 18x10 wheel:

Damn John,
I'm so happy we put that set up on your car. It looks perfect!

[SicMonte]

Put a set on my car!!!! Hahaha. Im stuck. I want a nice set of 18's but I am scared to spend all that money on a set of wheels!!! I am thinking of just getting a set of Crager Soft 8's in 17x9 and just calling it a day. Someone convince me on the 18's!!!!

[gearbanger]

You need 18s on the back and 17s on the front. It gives it that muscle car rake. Stay with 45 series tires to keep the profiles in proportion. I have 295/45/18 in back on a 9.5" wheel, and 245/45/17 in front with a 8" wheel.

I'm sorry,I've never really liked the 17/18 look myself personally,those 17's never really quite fill up the wheelwells enough for my tastes.

An 18/19 combo however fills the bill nicely and is very popular...but that probably doesn't help you in making a decision,huh...?

[Roadbuster]

I have 18x9 with 255/35R18 fronts and 18x11s with 305/35R18 rears.

Looks sick,huh?
Not Fuel's but the next closest thing I guess...:yum:

[SicMonte]

so im guessing that the only 305 size tire I can get is in a drag radial?

[DriverzInc]

It's well priced, that is one of the benefits, and you'll still get 15K miles out of them, if you go with the Nitto 555r. Also, its a good height for the rear tire. I don't know how much you drive your car, but ask MuscleCarJohn how his tires are wearing. I'm sure they are doing well.... John?

[SicMonte]

Ok I am sold on the 305 for the rear. What tire is he running in the front?
