Default 315/30/18 on an 18x10 rim?

i know they are listed for 11-12" rims but has anyone run these on 18x10s? on the back of my car i need drag radials. i plan on getting the 18x10 rebel on the back. i would not mind running a 295/35/18 but the only one who make a drag radial that size is BFG and i dont like those tires. mickey makes the 315/30/18 but nittos make a 285/35/18. what do you guys think?

Go w/ the mickeys, they will fit fine on a 10' wide wheel. They also offer a 305/35/18. One of these will be my next tire. The BFG 315/30/18's just arent hooking. Just my .02

I have 18x10 forgeline wheels and am putting 305/35/18 ET streets on them. I wouldn't go wider than 305 with a 10" wheel. You obiously can do it, but it won't be shaped right and the 305 would probibly hook better since it was mounted proplerly.

And the taller sidewall, thats what would really make the difference.

I think the 305 would look a lot better on a 10" rim, you wouldn't have bulge.

Have you ever seen a fat chick with jeans two sizes too small? Yeah, thats about what tire bulge looks like. Yuck

i have always liked the tire buldge look...looks like the oldschool muscle cars. the 305 is a good tire but its 27"s and it will mess with my abs right?

well the 275/40/17s up front are 25.66 tall on nittos website they say the 305/35/18 is 26.42 thats less than an inch...idk
