Agree I just spent ton for 275/18 and 285/18 tires , I could have picked up 4 17 inch NT05's for way less lol. Owell , 18 inch wheels are sexy.

18x10: 305/35-18

Good info but I would suggest 295/35/18 if you want more choices for tires. 305/35's only come in dr's.

Im going with Nitto NT555RII's. They are the same tread pattern but they actually have a sidewall and they go for $280 a piece and are 305-35-18's. Installed they will be around $300 a tire. Not too hateful for an R compound tire.

Them or NT05s is what I wanted but they are way to much right now , Later on down the road I will more then likely upgrade to the NT05's.

Well for me i cant go below 305 for my wheels cus they are 10.5 rear width and 295's are too narrow. So 305 35 18's for me. lol The sidewall will look better too.
