well if you want the widest... Nitto 335/35/18 DR you'll need 11.5 (min rec) size width for the rears... maybe you could go 11... and I can say from my research (I did a fair amount) keep diameter in mind... you (IMO) don't want too much wheel well gap or difference from F/R... maybe the rear a bit taller.. it'll look goofy IMO.. So check out the diamter in addition to the width.

Oh yeah, diameter being kept in mind big time, 335 is bigger than will fit on 90% of the rims I'm considering, that's just too big. NT-555R 305/45/18 is probably the size I'm looking at.

Hey, I'm looking at these too. I happen to like them very much thank you!They will look great with my Silver S197. I had a black car with black wheels once, looked awesome, even with a silver rim. On the downside they seem a little heavy, Steada says 28-31lbs depending on who you talk to there. The nice thing is that they have the right offsets and are wide enough that if I need to do a front brake upgrade for road courses, I'd have room to fit them in there and not worry about upgrading the wheels again. With the9.5s all around, tire rotation front and back is easy.What wheels are you using for the track? drag or road?
