What size tires for new 18's?

Ordering 18" Shelby Razors - what size offset do I need to fit my 07 gt?

What size tires should I get? Keep in mind that I will be lowering it 1.5" with the K-springs soon. What size tires are you guys running on 18" rims?

Do you want lower profile tires or do you want some sidewall like mine?

I want some big meaty tires. Not really into low profile, plus I want to sidewall to protect the rims.

The limit for sidewall is probably about what i stated above then.....45 might work but then it will also depend on the width.

Custom wheels, chrome wheels, alloy rims - BIGCUSTOMWHEELS
