Default Tallest tire

I have 18x9 and 18x10 rims . What is the tallest tire we can use for these ? I was looking at the BF Goodrich G-Force 275/35-18's for the fronts and295/35-18's for the rears . The 275's are only 25.5 inches and the 295's are 26 inches . Will that look to small in the wheel well ?

I have 275/35/18 in the back and they look small, and I'm lowered on eibach pros. Anyone else able to chime in? I'm really wondering if 275/40 will fit with no problems, says its just another inch taller.

Yeah, I guess worst case I'll just have to break out the mallet if it rubs

i have 315-30-18 on mine and they work pretty good and it gives the optical illusion as if it was a bigger tire

just know going to tall will throw your abs into wack mode, i dont know how it works with 18s but i know when i went with a 28 inch tall tire on my drag setup it set my abs lights off, it might not be an issue to you but then it might be, i just plan to delete my abs

Default Weld RTS's and Nitto's with pictures.

Went with Nitto NT 555 R 305/35ZR-18 on the rears which are 26.4'' tall .
Fronts are Nitto NT 555 275/35ZR-18 .
I think they fit the wheel well a little better . Still want to install
lowering springs .
