35's will be kind-of a tall sidewall. If your car is lowered or you plan on lowering i would use a 30. Either one will look ok, just depends on your preference on sidewall height. hope this helps. also do a search on the tire size and look at some pictures, and keep in mind its not a perfect world and different tires (brands) can look different.

RpSS4844 thx for the reply...
yes my car is lowered hav a eibach sportline on it and im thinking to put 35 cuz i want the rear end to look high, im runing 275/40/17 on the front.

i did my research but for some reason i didn't read anything about 315 on a 18inch or i probably just miss it.

315/30/18 would be closer to the stock diameter size at 25.5" where a 315/35/18 would be a 26.4" diameter. I think I'd go with a 315/30/18 since it will be closer to the stock diameter and there are more tires available in that size, but a 315/35/18 will be okay though.

^^ well put, i forgot to mention about the diameters of each. Also something to think about concerning different diameters, is ABS. I have seen one or two people on here that had differnet diamtertires front and rear and it caused their ABS light to come on. I have only seen a handful of these cases out of the many that are running different tires front/rear. Even though small percentage, its something to consider. hope this help.
