Default Recommended Tire Size for 18x9.5 Please
I just bought some new wheels. They are 18x9.5 with 56mm offset. I hope they fit all the way around. But I need to know what is the best size streetable tire to go with. Thanks!!

yup what he said. That'll be the same height as your stockers so you're speedo and such will be correct still.

I'm going to do a 305/45/18 Nitto drag radial on my 9.5 wheel. Their approved rim according to their site states 10" but I've seen folks do 315's on a 9" rim without any probs.

You should be able to do at least a 295 series tire safely.
