So I am pretty excited, I just got my new rims. 18x9 front and 18x10 rear black bullits, with the deep dish...So my question to everyone is what size tires should I go with? I don't want the tire to stick out too much off the rim. I want a tire that s flush with the rim, maybe a little more. What are everyone's suggestions? I welcome all opinions on this one as I am eager to buy these tires and throw them on!!!

i just got new rims myself, and was also worried about which size tires to get. everyone that i talked to on the forum recommended 295,and 315. I thought that would be to big, so i ended up buying some used nitto 555 from a friend(275/35/18). i was a little worried they wouldn't be wide enough but when i put them on i realized they were the perfect fit, they stick out a little, but dosen't look to bulky in the back. the biggest i'd go in the back is 285. as far as the front i went 265 and it looks great. hope this helps you out.

Visually, does it look like there is much of a difference between the 265 and 275's? They seem pretty close. I want the tire to stick out off the rim the same on the fronts and on the back, just slightly over the rim...

i believe the diff. between 275 and 265 is around .4 if an inch. you can tell a difference between the two though. you can do 275 all the way around, but i would get the 265's in the front, you don't want you're front tires sticking out two much. trust me my set up looks good. you can also call discount tire or any tire shop and ask them what they reccomend for your set up.

cool...so with your setup, the tire more or less comes off the rim about the same amount on both front and rear? What did you pay for your tires?

265/40/18 (or 265/35/18 for a lower profile) front
315/30/18 rear, you've got the 18x10.5, use em :-p plus the 315s look SEXY

If you guys have any pictures of your setups, that would be great....Just to get an idea of it...

I recommend 295/35/18 in back and 265/35/18 in front for maximum performance.
