With an 18" rims there's quite a few options, but they are all wide tires to be used on 9.5-10" rims.

The only one that I know of out of all the larger manufacturers(Toyo, Nitto, BFG, M&H, M/T) is the Toyo RA1. And it's mmore of a autocross/racing tire. Surely the lower tread depth and sticky compound is better than a street tire, but it's no drag radial. I believe the size they offer is a 255/45-18.

good luck.

BFG will make one that can fit your tire. Search around on their website you will be okay.

Also the ET streets will work. I saw a guy at the track using the stock 17's with 275/55/17 tires and he got 1.7xx 60's.
