Default FR500 tire sizes

I just recently purchased the black deep dish FR500's. They are 18"x9" front and 18"x10" rear. What tire sizes do you all recomend?

Depends on what you wanna spend. Cheap.....245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear These will look good and you won't feel bad when you do a burn out. You want real thick and money isn't an issue go with 275/35/18 up front and 305/30/18 in the back. Stay 3 width sizes(275) apart and one size in height(35). they will match properly

275s on the back will look too skinny, they'll look bulged out as the wheel is a tad to big for the tire

No I don't think so! That's what I thought until I seen them on my friends car! That's what I have right now and they look descent, I wouldn't however go any thinner. That's def. the thinnest I would go. I have 10" wide wheels, they would be too small for 10.5, but are fine with 10". I'll post a pic up in a little but so you can see!

Here's pics of my 245/40/18 up front on a 18x9 wheel and 275/35/18 on the back on a 18x10 wheel. The 275/35 is def. the thinnest I would go on the back (i had a budget) I had them shipped to my door and then mounted and balanced for $1200 total Bought wheels on ebay and tires from tire rack. BF Goodrich G-force Sport. You can clearly seee that the tire covers up the wheel when you lookat it directly from behind!

I stand corrected I suppose... they look pretty good.
I forget 18s are x 10 and not x 10.5. I was just going from experience with 10.5s. Thanks for the pics... I learn somethin every day.
