I think you'd want 275/35 in rear, esp. if your lowered. And thats very small for those rims, yea it'll fit, but wont look good imo

You'd be better off with 265 or 275 up front with 285-305 in the rear.

thanks guys i think im gonna go with the 255/35 up front and 285/40 in the rear. I want the pirelli pzero nero tires and im only 20 so $770 is enough for me. But will the 255 be ok? b/c that saves me like $30 over getting the 265 up front?
thanks Brian

You very well might have rubbing issues with a 285/40 in the rear, especially since your lowered. Don't they make a 285/35?

I Have that exact set up and it looks fine...it's not guna be overly huge in the rear but Pirelli's aren't Drag radials...that being said I also agree with Swervo cuz I was thinkin about gettin some bigger tires, the only problem is it's costs quite a bit more for the wider tires...

I think you will be fine with the 285/40/18's.I have 285/35's and there is still room for a little more and the 18x10 stretchs them a little anyway.
