Check out the tire and wheel forum on the main section, there will be info in there to help you out also. Your talking street tire right???? I think that #1 18's kill traction on that powerful of a car, argue with me or not, but you need to widen the tires to about 10 to 10.5 or even 11 in wide. BFG's KDW's are good, I know alot of guys use them on here. I have the Good Year GSD3's on my car. they stick. I have a buddy that has them on his 500 hp TA and he loves them, best street tire, and I think the same thing. I like them better than the ones on my Vette, those are the Good Year F1 EMS. But check out the wheels and tire section.

Im not doggin 18's, I just think that 17's were designed for the car and that is where you are going to see the best performance from. 18's i guess wont matter in the end but widen those!!

If you are looking for sizes go with 265/35/18, 265/40/18 or 275/40/18

Everyone talks alot about the BFG KDWs but the BFG KDs are much better for dry weather traction.

Check out the tire and wheel forum...
