Default 18x10.5 rear wheel guys in here.....

What tires are you running with this size wheel, and where did you buy them from? I want to run a 315/30/18, but the only ones I like (Falkens) are on a 6-8 week back order. I don't want drag radials...still have a 10-bolt and the car is daily driven. I've looked at the Nitto NT-01's, but they are 100TW, and don't look like they would work very good for a daily driven car...especially in the rain. So.....ideas???? I would be willing to go as narrow as a 295, but the bigger the better......

I run kuhmo ecstas 295s They look great and they dont cost 400 a piece like all the other idiot tire manufacturers try to charge. I think they were only about 180 a peice from tire rack.

i have yokohomma avs 295/35/18 on my rears. they came on my wheels but i would not buy them new due to their price if i had to. mine are 10.5 all around, and i have 275/35/18 on the front (riken raptor) and they look and perform just fine. not to mention they are around $150 per tire!

I just ordered 4 Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's. 275/40/17 up front, 295/30/18 on the back. I paid a little under $650 shipped for the 4 of them.....which is what I was expecting to pay for just the rears.

On a 10.5" wheel? I was wondering about that as well. Do you have pics? Those might be my next tires if they fit.

I run 295/35s on my 10.5" wheels and I think they look fine. I have the BFG KDW (Fire tread).

I looked at those too, but I wanted the same tires up front and out back, and they don't make those tires in a 275/40/17.

Ahhhh, I see. I'm going to be running a 17x9.5 wheel up front.

That's what I figured. I've run a 315/35/17 Nitto DR on a 17x9.5 wheel and it looked like it belonged on that size wheel.

10-bolts are gay. lol I've got a 12-bolt in the Camaro that's for sale with me going to the new M9, but I think I might keep it and throw it in the T/A.
