Default Tire Sizes

I'm getting CCW SP500's for the Bird because I havent seen them on a trans am or ws6 yet

18x10 Front
18x11 Rear

Lowered with Prokit
Tire Question:
CCW guy said I would have no problem with 18x10s up front on a lowered trans am.

What tires do I go with on the 18x10 275s or 285s? I dont want it to look like theres more rim then tire when you look at it on the car. Like i've seen on some cars.

For the 18x11s should I go with 295s or 305s? same thing as the front tire question I dont want there to look like theres more rim then tire.

look at the blue ta in here toward the end of the 1st page, the 305 will be roughly the same height but wider, if your not worried about really wide out back you can do a 275 front and a 295 rear. but that 305 or 315 will really show the width that your buying on the rear.

when you get into an 18" size everything sounds "thin" for our cars. but once you get them on you'll see they are perfect. when i bough my 315/35 drags the aspect ration was smaller than my fronts and i was thinking it was gonna look funny, but it was perfectly matched. good luck
