Default Need rear tire size reccomendations
I just put ther eibach pro kit on. I love it but i would like a little more rake, and for my rear tires to fill in a little more of the gap. I believe I am running 235/50/18s all around, BF goodrich G-force. I just want new rears. What would be a good size that fits well with no chance of rubbing, wider the better

They are the 18" billets that are in my sig. I believe the rim is 8.5 wide.

275/45/18 is a good size, but hard to find tires...

How well will that fit? Maybe a easier to obtain tire would be best

Yeah, they are expensive.

There is a guy running 255/45/18 in front and 285/45/18 in rear on those exact rims. However, these are both stock height.

285/45/18 - way too big for a 8.5" wide rim IMHO. they will bulge a lot!
