Default 18x10.5 rear.....

what tires are u guys running?? i purchased mine from tomzwheels with 295 bf's, i dont like how they look, they dont look small, but its easy to see where a wider tire would look much better. i did a search and some guy is running 335's!!!! i wanna see some pics of that.

On my rear 18x10.5 I am using 295/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sports.

The 295's look great and I can't really imagine going any larger back there...305 at most?

Don't have any pics atm, sorry bud.

I am running a 295 on a 18x11 rim, my dad has a 315 on his 17x11. I think you have to definitly use a BFH to get anything bigger then a 315 in there. here is the *** of mine. I honestly think anything much more then that looks almost out of place. 315 is the max i would go unless i mini tubed, not for reason of look but cost, they start to get stupid expensive after 295's even the cheaper tires. You should be able to fit a 305, or 315 without issues but finding that one tire that is worth a **** is kinda hard

I'd say a 315/30/18 at the most. It will look badass and BFG makes a drag radial in that size also.
