Default Tires

Im ordering 18x9 DD for the front and 18x10 DD for the rear. Whats the best tires i can run on the front and rear. I want the widest i can go in the rear and the smallest in the front since im lowered and my 245 scrub a bit already. Maybe a 255 up front?

Now looking again at the site it has diff offsets and such. how do i know which i need?
WHEELS
I really want to fill out the fender wells to give it the beefy stance.

Default RE: Tires

Any help would be appreciated. I dont want to get tires to wide and them scrub. I cant find a 18x8 BULLIT DD So i have to get the 18x9. Im thinking the 255 series will be ok. As for the rear its a 18x10 Wheel. Whats the largest tire i can do on the rear. Im looking at the BFGOODRICH Gforce T/A Drag Radial for the rear and the T/A KDW for the front. What do you guys think?Also any info on the offsets i should order from that site? When i get my paycheck this friday i will be ready to order the wheels.

Go to www.tirerack.com and www.discounttiredirect.com and read up on what is available and recommended for your car. You may also need a set of wheel spacers to keep from rubbing on the suspension. Check these out as they are quality made: www.maximummotorsports.com

Good luck with your ride!

Go with either 255 or 265 in the front. In the back go with either a 295 or a 305. Also, you shouldn't run DR's on the steet.

Why? Besides having to be extra careful in the rain, and they don't last as long, what would be wrong with running dr's on the street...
