Default What size tires do I need?

Well, Im going to get some Saleen rims by the end of summer, and I need to know which tires to get to go with them. All four wheels are the 18x9 size and all the tires will be the same so I can rotate the suckers. What size tires are you guys with 18's running. Also, what size will fit up front and not rub with the 18's. Thanks, was thinking about a 265 or 275 up front, but dont know for sure. Thanks guys.

Well, I can tell you from experience....

DON'T GET 40 SERIES TIRES.

I have 265/40 ZR 18's on 18x9 Cobra R's. The 40's are too tall and will find their way to the brake line brakets in the rear. It took a little "messaging" to get the rubs out. I hear lots of guys having no problems with the 35's.

[EDIT] Of course, my car is dropped two inches.
