What size wheel are you planning to put them on? Seems like that's sort of a bastard size. Nitto makes a 305/35/18, which might be a better match.

It's a 10.5 wheel. I looked at that size to but would like to have a 315 if possible.

I'd say go with the 305's. I run a 295/35/18 out back on an 18x10 wheel and it fills the wheel wells nicely.



I used to run a 315/35/17, which I won't argue looks great, but I got sick of rubbing, even after the BFH mod and rolling the fender lips.

They're Nitto Invos. Haven't looked into the Mickey Thompsons yet.

You're having trouble because that size doesn't exist. 305/35 or 315/30. On a 10.5" wheel I wouldn't go over a 305.

What reasoning would you not go over a 305? Curious myself because i am also looking at purchasing 315/30r18's for my 10.5 wheels. Looking to closer match the correct diameter to the front wheel (275/35r18) so my speedometer will be most accurate. i just changed from 295/35r18's to 295/30r18's and now see a 15 mph faster difference in my speedo. I only put the 295/30's on because they were free Michelin Pilot sport PS2's from a porsche customer where I work. Just trying them out to see if I really want to spend that kind of money on this brand of tire. The BFG Comp T/A's werent much help in the traction dept. (thats what came with the car when I purchased it)
I really prefer Michelins, but I already have rubbing issues with the 295's (no mods). Mostly cured by adding a 1/4" spacer, but still there under very hard turning. I figure I'll be right back to square one if I step up to the 315's.
