DR's for 18x9/18x10 combo? I see Nitto lists some DR's for 18's now, not just the ones for the Lightning. Anyone have them yet?
I will be running 18x10 in back, and 18x9 in front. What size regular radials for the front?

Hey John I have asked this question over and over but never get an answer. I really want to know if I'm going to have to roll the 1/4's or not. It doesn't seem like anybody on here is running an 18" DR. I guess you and I will have to be pioneers!

The 305 nittos would be a little bit of a stretch on your 10" wheel, but should be fine if your not doing any hard cornering. I would go with a 275 or 285 in the front.

Hey spanky those are actually the ones that I am looking at getting. Do you know if they will clear on stock height suspension WS6? I really don't want to have to roll the 1/4's.

I have a 315 BFG G-Force DR on a 18x10.5 rim. I am putting down ~500 rwhp and they hook Awesome. I love them. With the 315 you have to beat the wheel well in a little harder and roll the lip but i think it is worth it. I don't know if the 315 will go on a 10 in rim. I would go with the 295 on that rim. They also have a 275 for a 18 as well

i too have the bfg g -force ta's..275/35r18's these mothers hook like no other..i dont think they will last long though..i can take my 4k verter all the way to 4K with a brake stall and never spin a tire. of course it spins a little when i let it go, but not bad at all..they are super sticky, you can run your hand over them and they are like a sponge..

FWIW John i had to roll the rear 1/4 panels on my T/A when i ran 295/35/18's on my 18X10's.... I had to beat on th einside of the wheel well and grind the bumpstops off to fit 315/35/17's..... a buddy of mine has 305/30/18's on his 18x10.5 ZO6's on his Formula... his screen name is TOONZ
