The rims i perchased are 18x9.5 and 18x8.5. First question is can i fit larger size on the rims maybe 275 in back. just looking for a very aggresive look but dont want to squeeze a tire on that wont fit just for looks. I would alos like to hear what everyone else has on theres. I would be switching to a winter tire in the nasty mounths so i would like to have somthing fairly grippy and aggresive looking even if it dosnt do so well in the snow.
Thanks for advice
Best bet would be to stick with OEM sizes:

Front: 225/40/18
Rear: 255/35/18

or go plus size like I did:

Front: 235/40/18
Rear: 265/35/18

Any larger and you will have rubbing issues in the back and require fender roll and/or negative camber setting.

GL and show off your ride with pics once you decide.
