The following Nitto 555r's will work with the 18x10 rim...

285/35/18
305/35/18
305/45/18

The 305/45/18 should fill the wheelwell pretty nicely.

Ooooh a chance to ***** out my 295/45-18s. They are just the 555 nittos, but they fit great with 1" drop.

I have no personal experience with them, but from the posts i've seen they are good warm weather tires, but they aren't so "hot" in the cold.
