Hi everyone

I just bought some 18in stagered rims and are looking for tire recomendations. i think the tire sizes i will put on are 255 35 18 on back and 225 35 18 on frount. 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.

What brand and model of tire would you go with. I was thinking either BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT or Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance. dont want to spend over 250 a pop for the back tire and 200 on the front. but what do you guys think.
