Default Best Tire Choices for 18x7.5 Rims?????

I have found a very good deal on some 18 x 7.5 rims. What would be the best tire make and size combos for a set of these wheels all around? Unfortunalty they only come in th eone width. Any complications??

I don't think the same wheels all the way around are the way to go. I think the handling will be hurt. The only size that works well will be 225/40R18.
If I can help let me know.

Bummer becasue I have a super deal direct from the importer through the US sales rep.
A couple other questions for the expert.

Was the tire size you recommended for the back or front?
What makes would you reconmmend in that size?

What 18" wheel and tire size combinations would you recommend and with what tire makes?

Thanks
John

If the wheel is only 18X7.5 all the way around you will have to run the 225/40R18 all the way around as well. If you get a 18X9 rear then it is a different situation and the 255/35R18 or 245/35R18 will work on the rear.
