Default What tire size

I am buys a set of rear wheels that are 18x10.5. I was trying to figure what size tires to buy. Should I go with 315/35/18 or a 305/35/18.

I'm really happy with the 295/35R18's I run on my 18" x 10.5" wheels . . .

i run a 315/30/18 on my 18x10.5s. just to Keep the diameter close to stock size. so it doesnt mess up my speedo too much. If you have access to a programmer it doesnt really matter what tire size you go with...within reason of course.

I have hp tuners so it will not be a big deal to recalibrate the speedo. I have lowered my car with Strano springs and I wanted to make sure I get an aggressive look.

Most 315 tires are too wide for a 10.5" rim unless you like having the sidewall pinched...
