What's the widest tire I can fit on a 18 x 9.5 rim
I was wondering if 315s are too much, or if I should stick w/ 295s. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
295/35R18
or
315/30R18
or
If you have any other recommendations, I'd be glad to hear them. These will be Drag Radials going on C5 Y2k rims.
Also, what's the best DR out there?

You can put a Nitto 315 DR on there as they run a little small in terms of width.
Bets DR in terms of all out performance is MT, but for a daily driver the Nitto will hook decent and have nice longevity. That's what I run on my daily driver. My .02.
