Default tire size for 18x10?

i don't know if someone asked this before but here it is.

I'm looking for some drag radials and I'm planing to go wider than the 275 that are already in the car. what size is the widest that i can go on my fr500s?

You can run up to a 305 on your 10" wheels.

If you are looking to improve your grip at the Christmas tree, I recommend you pick up a set of 15" wheels and can likely run a wider tire with much improved grip.
