? about tire size on 18" wheel Hey guys...quick question for you...I am planning on switching to 18" wheels from my 17's and need to get some tires, i am planning (or at least was with my 17" wheels) to go with some Nittos. I will be widening these 18's to 10.5 or 11" in the back so i want to know if Nitto makes a 515/35/18 or something like that, basically i want to know if Nitto make a 315 wide tire for 18" wheels, thanks in advance for any info possibly posted into this thread.

I run 18"x10" HRE and stayed with the 40 series tires from OEM WS6 sizing. It filled up the wheel well space a little more and added just under a half inch of ground clearance to the car.
As far as wide tires in a 40 series there are several in 275's but if you go up to 285 then you are limited to (3) - Pirelli, Toyo, and I think Bridgestone. We set a 315 in the rear and it just looked goofy in my opinion.
Don't know anything about 35 series.

you can get a 315/30/18 fron BFG in drag radials, you might try them.

The tire size calculator says your speedo will be a little off but not enough to have to reprogram.
