Looks like you have the 18x8.5 bullitts. I'm running 255/45/18 (stock height) on mine. Next time I think I'll get 275/45/18 (about .5" taller than stock) to fill out the wheel well more.

If that's what you want.....too short IMO. Not much sidewall.

The stock rims are 18x8.5.

I still say you can run 275's. Someone is running 285's on his 8.5" wide bullitts and he has no probs.
