Default 305/35/18?

Wanting to have 305/35/18s out back on 18x10's Deep Dish Bullits...can I do that? I plan on lowering the car with FRPP springs and Tokico D-Spec Adj. Shocks. Anyone know of a tire I can run that has good traction in the rain? Car is a DD and sees some rain occasionally...oops lol

i drive bfg kdw 2's... they are amazing. 295/35/18 is what i have. Im not sure if they come in 305/35/18 or not. Even with my power i have no problem in the rain with them and they grip crazy good when its dry. I had nitto 555 that some people really seem to rave about how good they are, but the 555 are nothing compared to these in my opinion.

I love my bfg kdw 2's also and want to stay with them, but they don't offer a 305 in it and I'd like some extra meat on the back for even the street. 295/35's sidewall might be a little too short for me...thanks though!

I went and searched at the major tire companies database list, and the only 305/35/18 that come up are drag tires. It looks like 295/35/18 is the closest the sell for the street, id also like to know if there is a street tire in 305/35/18

I've been wanting to run the Nitto 305/35/18 on my DD also. But after doing the research I decided against it. Heard too many bad things about running drag radials in the rain and I don't want to take the chance, Especially with your Whipple.
