305/45/18 might be too big, I have 295/45/18 right now and they fill the wheel well almost all the way. I have been told that the 305/35/18's fit perfect. That is the size I will probably go with the next time.

RE: Tire Question??
If youre going to stay with 18s with a body kit like that, youre going to need more sidewall, so Id try for at least a 45 series tire. Going wider poses problems with fitting them under the wheel well. I would suggest something around a 285/50/18 or 295/45/18.

I just put 295x45x18 rear and 255x45x18 front and it is perfect! Fills up the well and comes flush with the body. Nitto 555s,
