Default Would you recommend 305/35/18 for the rear?

Anybody has that? Would that size tire fit on a 18x10 rim or would I need 10.5?

Also do Nitto NT555R last longer than NT555 or it the other way around?

I have 305/45r18's and they fit fine with 18X10's, you'll have no problem

How about clearance issues? U think I'd have problems with 305/45/18 if I lowered the rear? Becausethe reason why Iwanna go with 35 is that, but I'd rather havea higher profile tire in the back.Also with V speed rating meaning up to 149mph what happens if you go over 149? Sorry, series of noob questions here

Lol You won't have any clearance issues with those tires and the roush rear springs like bulitt has. I would recommend them,The nt555r (the one your looking at) is a drag radial, which will not last as long as the nt555. I was going to purchase theones you are looking at but me being only 18, I couldn't be replacing my rear tires every yr or soo [&:]
