Default 18" HP Evo Guys In, What Tire Size?

What tire size are you guy running on your 18" HP Evos? I'm looking at the 18x8s up front with 245/40/18 street tires and I'd like to put some slightly taller tires on the rear with a little more width, something like a 295/35/18 and maybe a drag radial like the BFG (other option is Kumho Ecsta MX tires all around). Just wondering what you guys are running and any pics of your setup would help too. Thanks.

A 295 is to big for a 9" wheels. 275/35s are the biggest recommended.

The evo's I'm looking at are 19x9.5 if I do end up getting them I'm putting 295x35x19 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWs on them. You can't beat the price-treadware-traction wet or dry for that matter.

Good info Armegeddon. I got the 295/35/18 BFG DRs mounted on my 9.5" wheels and they fit fine... and by the 9.5" you can guess the new wheels aren't Evos. Went another route. Sneak peek pics to come later tonight.
