Default Tire recommendation for 18x10

Need to know what size to get for my new wheels. Just got the Antera 309's. I know the rearse are gonna rub, but i plan on rolling the rear 1/4 panels.

I am running Tanabe GF210 springs on OEM shocks, 18x8 +50 front, 18x10 +58mm rear.

Want to know which is the best fitiment for front and rear tires. I want to make sure that they dont stick out from the fenders and have enough clearance for the shocks.

I was told i should run 225/40/18 in front, but the rears i have heard different stories on.

Thanks in advanced.

wow....thas a first....will that fit??

i thought Infamous S2000 was running 255's on his.....I was really wondering if i could step up to 265 or even 275's!!! I never imagined 285's would fit.

I was planning on rolling the rear lip, not flaring them.

I ordered 17X9 and planning to run 255. You should run 275 at least, with a 10" wide wheel.

Hey sorry to butt into your post, but i didn't want to start another post similar to the topic. Wondering if 18 X8.5 Volk LE37T would fit? Also if so, what tire recommendation would fit that? The car is stock if that helps. thanks!

I would say you are going to be tight even with the 265/35R18. With a 58mm offset there is no way a 285/30R18 fits in the wheel well. You would be better with a 225/40R18 and 265/35R18 on the rear.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you
