im lookin to buy a set of four High performance Summer tires so i can get all the traction i can. if anyone has some pics of their cars with aftermarket tires, please insert pics so i can get an idea of what sizes i want. thanks

here are a few of the tires and wheels I just put on. I put on 17X9 bullitts all the way around with 275/40/17 sumitomo HTR Z II tires on all 4 corners. They are a good high performance tire if you are on a budget. I got mine for $99 a tire off tirerack.com. There are better, but the price goes up a lot. I really like these tires, but if you get any snow or a lot of rain then they are not for you.

if you are going to run 18X10.5 deep dish on the back then you can go all they way to 315/35/18's if you are after max traction. Like I said, I am running 275's on the front and rear. They are about as big as I would go on the front unless you don't mind the tires sticking out of the wheel well. On the back I would go with at least 275's and prolly 315's if you are gonna get deep dish. I got more pics of mine if you need them, but those were the best close ups that showed tires. Most of my pics are entire car and not tire closeups.

well which sizes will fit 10.5's?? ive seen some people (mostly the vw/audi crew) with the stretched tires thats ugly and i also dont want em so huge they stick out.

I had 18x9's and 18x10.5 saleen rims and I had 265's on the front, and 295's on the back, and they fit perfect
