nitto makes a 305/35/18 drag radial that fits.. bfgoodrich also makes one but in a 315/30.. if your looking for a 295/35 a firestone firehawk is the cheapest around 190, then probably the the bfg kdw 2 which is around 230 a tire and damn good tire at that.. if you go with a 295/35 rear go with a 265/40 front.. theyre approximately the same height as the stock wheels/tires.. and you dont want a taller front tire, itll look gay.. 275/35 like TA said would work too.. since your not drag racing with those wheels and moneys not a concern, wider usually looks better, and will handle better too

nitto 305 was unavailable last I checked, but the 315 will fit per Nittos sizing specs.
I just ordered 275/35 & 295/35 BFG KDW tires and would recommend them or a BFG KD if you dont ride in the rain at all. But if you absolutely have to have overkill then grab you some 315's...

I've got 275/35 in the front and 285/35 in the rear and I want bigger in the rear. I'd go with the 295/35 if you don't want to do a BFH mod, otherwise go with the 315s
