Default what size tires do you guys run with 18x10.5 wheels on a fbody

Im looking at buying a set of 17x9.5 or 18x8.5 for the front of my camaro and a 18x10.5 for the rear and was wondering what option I have for tire size for the 18x10.5? Also the car has traction control so the front and rear tires need to be as close to the same diameter as possible.

As Xsta_Z_28 said, 295/35/18 is quite a popular size.

Another common size is 315/30/18.

Yea, I decided to go with a 40 series all around with 18's. I like a little more sidewall with my tires (not lowered) and the timing of the falken discount worked out perfectly haha.

I'm running a 295/35 Bridgestone RE760 on 18x10.5's with a 3/8" spacer. Tire height is maybe 3/8" taller than the 275/40/17 fronts, and has never set off the TCS or ABS lights. You really need more than about an inch of difference before you run into issues.

Yea, for sure. Good thing you as well as a bunch of guys jumped in and swooped those 315's up quickly. I'm seeing people that bought 16 tires and are trying to resell them for big $$$.
