Default Tires for 18x10.5

I 18x10.5 rims with 295/35 tires right now. . I'm thinking of running a 305/35 Mikey Thompson S&S tire soon. The only thing I'm kinda worried about is the clearance and rubbing. The car is lowered with BMR lowering springs and I have adj. panhard bar and lca so I will be able to make adjustments but I'm trying to see what you guys think I should do

Why do you want to run those? What brand tires are you currently running?

Sorry for the late response. But I'm really just looking for some tires that will hook. I can't find any really good tires in 295/35. I really just need help finding the right tires

A 35 profile won't be very good at hooking compared to something with more sidewall.

not too many option in an 18... so 305/35/18 or 335/30/18 would be good. however with the 56 offset you'll need spacers

stock specs are 17x9 +50 275/40/17 or 16x8 +55 245/50/16

this tool will help you understand your needs

You don't think there's no possible way put a 305/35 on with the spacer or it'll just be a lot of work? I'm kinda leaning on keeping these tires for just daily streets and getting a set of 15s to play with

Oh you can. Just get a 12-20mm spacer. Need to determine what best suits your car. Will be close inside and out. Depending on spacer, need to beat the inner wheel wells (BFH mod) or roll qtr lip.

BFH mod has a thread. Qtr rolling thread exists too
