Default Help with tires for 18x9.5 all around?

Hi guys,

I need some help, I am getting 18x9.5 c6 repreplicas all around, I want to ask what tires should I get and how much approximately should I pay for them?

I went to les schwab and they wanted $1100 for 4 tires and mounting... which seems a little high?..

Btw they have 58+mm offset according to jeggs' site. They are from OE Wheels

Also I'm on BMR springs, but maybe toying with going back to stock springs if I need to

So from what I've been reading... I wanna shoot for something like:
275/35/18 or 275/40/18..?

I've also seen 285 thrown around, but I want to get the same tire size all around...
Hoping for some input

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

I'm also just looking for recommendations regarding fitment and a few other things, I would hate to put them on and start rubbing...

EDIT: It looks like Tire Rack keeps trying to get me to put 245/40/18s on the front, and 275/35/18 on the back :\

I've had c5 Z06's on my SS for a long time now. I've been running 285/35/18's on all 4 corners w/o any issues.

Are you lowered or anything like that? I'm lowered on BMR Springs, only a 1.25" drop tho.

I'm just posting this in case someone down the road stumbles on this thread and so they don't have to start their own if they want a similar setup!

Think I may have found the tires though:

Any thoughts?
