245/35 on the fronts and 275/35 on the rear should be a good combo. The staggered sizes also give it a more aggressive stance.

What other tires should I get off that list? As NITTO doesn't make the front tire I want.

This is a 255/35-18 which is for the front.

This is a 275/40-18 which would be for the rear

You could go larger in the rear if you wanted to, with this, a 295/45-18

Which list are you looking at?

It's the one in the link to the rims on the Elementwheels.com I wanted to buy all from the same place so I could get them mounted and balanced for free. I was looking at the Niche Circuit Matte black staggered 18x8 and 18x9.5 set, it's toward the bottom of the page and it's just a little dropdown bar thing.

EDIT: And are you sure those will fit? They seem really wide. Thanks again for all your help.

I've heard good things about the Advan and Proxes but never used them. Also, looking at their prices, you may want to just consider having a shop do it and buy the tires from somewhere else. They're charging for (2) tires more than you would pay for (4) elsewhere. I just priced your wheels with Yokohama Advan Sports and the total is $2,611. About $700 too much. a mount and balance won't be anywhere near that.

I double checked with a few other tire sites and they should fit. If you want to feel better you could email NITTO and ask them. You could also google 18x9.5 tire size.

I used NITTO's website under sizes and specs to find the largest for your wheel. Double check just to make sure im not blind.

I think a 255 might be a little too big for an 8" wide rim, right?
