Default What tires?

Im no good at calling what size tires to put on wheels so help me out please...

18x10 Saleen clones, I was thinking I would do the 10 in the rear and the 9 in the front then I thought, hey maybe I would like to rotate my tires instead of buying new rear ones every year. So maybe i'll do the 18x10 in the front and the rear... What do you think?

I am looking at BFG T/A. Reviews are good, anything better for the $$$ ? I will use them on street 90% of the time, they'll only be on the strip a few times per year.

Ok so what my quesion actually is whats my tire size I should be looking for? P.S. I want them somewhat low-pro to not so that it looks like I have a black strap on the tire but I don't want them too thick.

You want 275/35/18's all around then. Get 9 inch rims all around.
No rubbing unless you drop it lower than 2 inches.

1st lemme say good luck on getting an 18X10 on the front. seriously its probably not worth the trouble. if u do get 18x9 up front id do a 265/35 or what sc94gt said, but u might rub. with the rear 18x10 the least is 285/35, but a 295, 305, or if u can find a 315 would look better. right now i have a pair of fr500 in 18x10 in the rear and i was told to get a 285/35. i did and it fits nicely, but i know when they wear im going wider.

a friend of mine has the same saleen clones your talking about....he has a 295 on the rear...and a 265 on the front....looks damn good....I think both are 35 series....and they are the BFG's. Its a good combo....they will last more then a year as long as your not getting on it constantly
