I would look at 295/305/315 tops.....Probably Nitto in a 315 as they are usually a little thinner. Any other tire I would look at 295 or 305.....Might even look at the 285 Goodyear GS-D3 as they run a little wider

Nittos for street? I know they make a few different kinds. A 315 would be nice on the back. So waht are the different aspect ratios?

Michelin Pilot Sports and Pilot Sport PS2's are available in a 315/30/18 size that'll work on a 10.5" wheel. Its nominal overall diameter is more in line with 275/40/17 than is the 295/35/18 as well. I haven't seen anybody run them, but I'm considering giving them a try.

Here are the specs:

What is wrong with Nittos on the street? A lot of people use them for daily drivers, just be a little careful in the rain and stay away from snow

I ended up buying the 295/35-18 AVS Sports from the guys at Tirediscounters. I already have some Falken 275/40-17s for the fronts. I ordered the O.E. Concept wheels from Thunder yesterday (Z06 with black centers). Thanks for the help guys!
