Default What size meat on 18x10.5 rims?

Hey gang! I know that everyone runs 315 35's on 17x10.5, but what would i want on 18x10.5? I know they are going to be wicked expensive and not hook up as well, but i just enjoy my car for the fun factor, not really racing. Also, what offset or backspacing do i want on 18x9's? thanks!

You could do a 295/35/18 or a 315/30/18. Either one would look sweet.

315/35/18's would work...i think you can get 335/40/18's on there too...i believe its a 4.5" back spacing though...most of our sponsors have the wheels with proper backspacing

i wouldnt go any bigger that 18X10. theres not a big difference at all in that .5 inch and the 18" tire is already extremely expensive. whatever you go for just remember to keep the tire specs in check so you dont mess with your speedo.

might your gonna have clearece issues with a 315 on and 18. a 315 is the largest you can have on a 17. if you do get 315 you may be able to roll you fender to fit it. but something to think about is you may want to remove your quad shocks. and if you want to kep the same drivablility you need performance upper and lower controll arms to compensate for the lost quad shocks. and don't space out the fronts. the difference in tire width makes it look a lot more aggressive.
