thanks!

in for info!

i ended up with some 18" chrome saleens, but the rears are 10" wide and the biggest wheels ive owned is 9". so im new to this....

Ive got em. Wouldnt run anything smaller than a 285/35/18. I used to have 305/35/18 Nitto drag radials and they were almost perfect on my Saleens. I have 295/30/18's now and wish I would have went larger. But anywhere from a 285-315 would be your best best. Keep in mind though a tire skinnier than a 305 will need a spacer to be flush with the rear quarter.

run a 305 and just flip your quad shock.
Or you can get your fender rolled and run a 315

They will fit fine with the proper tire, i suggest 295/35/18 or if you want to be the coolest kind around the block then get 315s

I ran a 315 on a 10.5 on the 17 machined cobra's and didn't even have to flip the quad or roll the fender

I'd say 305's

I am running 10.5s with 295 rikkens on it now. When I got them they had 335 sumitomo's that would rub occasionally in hard cornering but otherwise were fine for daily use, other then the crappy tire of course...

295/35-18s on my sled.

On my 9.5 rears I have 295's and they are perfect. When I get new wheels next year they will most likely be a 10" rear and will go with a 305 or 315 depending on brand.
You have to see what tire you want and if they run small etc. I remember Nitto always ran smaller then advertised and I would get the next width up with them.

I have 275 Nitto 555's on my 18" FR500 10's I bought and they are too skinny. They have the ricer look to them. Hense they will be burnt off and then mounted with 305 DR's next year.

Mine are supposed to be 9.5 but are 10". I ran with a 295/30.

IMO- running anything over a 295 is a waste of meat if u dont have some real power.. its just going to slow u down.

295s anything smaller just dont look right. anything over 315 is stuppid. :BangHead:

my 285s actually do not look horribly skinny, considering they were put on after I had 335s but that is what came with the wheels from craigslist for $700. Wheels still had the plastic on the center caps and the tires still had the nubs on them so I could not complain.
