Default Anyone have pictures of a 305/40R18 tire on vehicle?

I'm hoping to purchase a pair of 18" rims and researching tire size options. What I don't like is the small tire sidewall heights on some of these 18" rims I am seeing. It leaves a gap in the wheel well area and to counter, I was thinking about the 305/40R18. Anyone have any pictures of these on their car?

Haven't heard or have seen that size...you sure about it? Not sure what sizes you are referring to that leave the 'gap', but as long as you stay in the 25.7" +/- .5"....it shouldn't matter what wheel diameter you look at.

Common size that fit stock diameter is 275-35-18. Go a .5" taller and little wider, check out a 295-35.

It's only made for the Nitto555R. The tire would be going on a 18x10.5 rim and the recommended size is 295/35R18. I was thinking of going a tad bigger which would make it around 27.5" tall.
