Red face Tires sizing help...

Just got a set and was wondering what tire sizing would you guys reccomend I get for the following measurements:

Front 18 x 8 + 56
Rear 18 x 9.5 + 62

Any suggestions espically those who have the these wheels will be greatly appreciated. Futhermore, any pics of the wheels with or without a drop would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I like the 225/40R18 and 255/35R18. They keep the same diameter front and rear and they fit with no problem.
If I can help let me know.

As far as the rear goes, any suggestions on the ideal tire size with a possible drop on Eibach pro-kit springs?

I agree with the 255/35R18 on the rear. As far as the tire recommendation it depends on what you are looking for out of the tire.
Let me know and I can make a better recommendation.

Hmm... I couldn't resist as I was overly eager to slap on the wheels already. I ended up getting 265/35/18 for the rears. Neverthess, I appreciate the help. I see from the response that some of you had recommended I get 255/35/18 for the rears, should I now be concern?

Furthermore, I ended up picking a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. Any thoughts or experiences with these tires?
