17x10.5 will hold 335, but you'll have to roll the fender lips to fit them. 315s will fit without modifications.

18x10 I have no idea.

Then explain to me how code3 didn't have to roll his fenders or remove his quad shocks with his 335's.. Plus he had a pro-kit on his car.

He DID roll his rear quarters (50% or so) and removed the quads when he had the 335s on. Ask code. He's the one I learned about this from.

Ceekay, yes, even lowered, 315s will fit. If you have CAs, then the quads don't matter. You can leave them or remove them.

I don't know about 18x10s. I've never researched those. However, if a 1.5 inch drop with 17s doesn't cause an issue, then I doubt a 3/4 inch drop with 18s will. Still, I cannot be sure.

Bump?

EDIT: I just did some quick searches and 315/30/18s should be fine. But DAMN, those tires are over $325 each! That's pricey to me.

I only did a quick search on tirerack.com for that size, but every street tire was 'spensive as hell. Competition tires were somewhat cheaper, but they are comp tires.

Look here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...=All&x=87&y=10

I think you must have him mixed with someone else... Because he has said it time and time again he didn't modify anything to fit the 335's.
