Default what size tires for upgrade to 18"

I have 95' GT and just bought some 18x9 chrome bullit rims. Was wondring if 255/45/18 tires would work all the way around cause I want to keep all the same size for tire rotation. Any suggestions?

Anything less than 265's and it will look funny on those wheels. 265/35/18 all the way around and you will have NO issues.

Default 18" tires for my 95' gt

hey Lance, thanks for the suggestion. I have a question, my bullit rims are 18x9 and when I test mounted the front rim, it stuck out about 1/2" . Do I have the wrong offset? Bought them on ebay and were said to fit 94'-04'. will that size tire be okay?

You should be fine.The DD 18x9's do stick out a little bit in the front but they will be fine.

Only if you are concerned with the 4x4 look you will have.

what tires would you use for a stock suspension. i live in the country and the roads aren't worth a s--t! plus my wife would leave my mufflers hanging on a pothole if i lowered the car!
