Default new tires

im getting new tires monday for my back wheels (18x9 fr500's) i want a bigger tire than 255/45 (tire size on my front tires, does anyone have any suggetions or pictures of bigger tires to fit on a 9inch wheel. I like a lot of sidewall, kinda like the old school look.

Check tirerack.com's specs on recommended wheel widths for various tires. I think you may be able to get away with 275's with some brands. I'm not sure if you can get much taller than a 45 profile though. I have 275/40's on my 18x9.5" wheels.
