I'm running 275/40's on my 18x10.5...anything bigger than that (wider) I think It'll rub.

Default tires

On the front of my car I am using 275/35-18s on 18x9s and on the rear I use 305/35-18s on 18x10s and the car is lowered about 1.5 to 1.75.

The 305s will touch the fender lip towards the back of the car if you dont roll it a bit, dont be afraid because you cant tell.

295/18s on 18x10s will work perfect. My buddy has 17x10.5s with 335/30s and his car is lower then mine and has no problems. But his is the 99-04 body and mine is a 98, mine has a little less clearance.

If you use 275s on 18x10s they will be too small, even smaller on 18x10.5s, thats stretching them out a bunch.

Below is a 295/35 on an 18x10. IMO the best fit for an 18x10. You might get a 305 on but I'm not sure how good it would look.
