Default HP EVO's
Ok, i think i've decided on the 18" HP Evo's for my Firebird. What's the best tire size for these wheels? I'm not looking for anything expensive.

TIA!

depending on width of the setup you bought i'd assume a 265/35/18 and a 295/35/18 would suffice. that's what i'd run atleast on a set of nittos.

EVOs are going to be hard to find, I looked.

My 275/35/18's are very close to the stock dimensions of my 275/40/17, just a 1/2" shorter sidewall.

Thanx man....*** yeah, A blk bow tie grille and SS spoiler & your car is set.
. Yeah your car looks really good on 19's.. But honestly a direct side shot of them in a 19 just looks way to big for me..Any other angle is wicked!
