What is the widest tire I can fit on 18x10 rims

I believe Nitto recommends the max of 305 with 10" rims. That is what I am running on my 18x10" Bullits.

I have 295's on mine. There is a relationship between the height of your sdidewall, width of your tread and width of your wheel. IF you go to the tire rack they will give you break downs on tire fitment.
You can probably fit a tire larger then 305 back there you will be running out of room. My 295 will rub occassionally in the inside underHEAVY cornering. But just a little.

OP, are you staying with the stock 27.1 diameter? If you go smaller, you will have to put a narrower tire on as there is less sidewall flex. And the opposite is true, if you go with a taller tire, you could go wider a little bit.
But 295 and maybe 305 would be the max suggested by tirerack.com

Best to check with either the Tire Rack specs pages or the tire mfr site directly. All I found with a quick look at Tire Rack was 295/xx being the widest recommended for a 10" wide wheel, and most of those were "competition" tires. The 305's all wanted 10.5" minimum width. For short periods of time, you might be able to "get away with" being half an inch below spec, but I cannot recommend doing so for sustained use.
