Default Need pics of 18x10.5

I'm picking up some 18x10.5 rears tomorrow and I need to order tires. Any pics of how much 295 or 305/35r18 stretch or bulge on that size wheel? I can't find many pics of the tires from a good angle to show stretch/bulge. Also, will 305 sit under my lowered ta with no modification? Pics of the ta height can be found in my profile. Thanks guys!

295's from my post last month. Make sure you get a quality 295/305 tire (aka not Sumitomo's) and you will look fine. No fitment issues, no BFH for this setup, but if you're lowered, you may need to.

I can't see the pic. I'm skipping the bottom of the barrel tires. Looking at Firehawk Wide Ovals or Bridgestone Potenzas. Something that will do good in the rain.

A lot of people run the 295/30/18 bfg kdw2. I believe it's supposed to perform well in the rain.

Plus, the tread pattern looks sick. Those look great on your cobra.

Yeah love the tread... DID look great. Sold it a few years back.
Feels good to be back in another monster though.

I called a few places and 295/35r18 was hard to find around here. I'm leaving for vacation Saturday and the only tires available on such short notice were nitto invos. Hopefully they are pretty good. Anybody run those in that size? What's the tread life like?
