Default Tire Sizes for 18x10.5

I just order some Fikses and the rears will be 18x10.5, which tires would give me the best traction for a 1000+ RWHP car, will probably run only around 750-800 on the street so need something with bite, what sizes?? Thanks.

Don't run 18's . . . a 295 is the smallest, there is a 315/30ZR18. It is the widest you can run on a 10.5" wheel.

On the car at the track, I will be running the slicks, but on the street, I want some nice wheels so I got the fikse's. So the 305's will work?

I have 295's and they look perfect IF you like a factory flush look. If you like wider, go to 305 or 315. My 295's hook up better than the 315's possibly due to increased ground pressure from the smaller tire, but I perfer the flush look myself, (and no hammer mod)
