For an 18X9 wheel the best fitment would be a 255/45-18 tire

255 would be a little thin for an 18x9, it would fit ok, just a little thin in my opinion.

If you want to run same size tires front and rear, a 275/35 would probably work out pretty well.

I'm running Falken FK452's on my V6, they have been good tires so far. I'm on my second set of Cooper Zeon ZHP01's on my fox, and those tires are awesome, very good street traction. Almost went 12's at 35 psi on those tires (275/40/17), on my fox, its only about a 300 HP motor.

i was told to do 235/55/18 everything else would be to big? by a guy at a tire shop... could i run biggar in the back than in the front?

and 1 more thought that came to mind.. are these rims going to rub? or not enough room to turn the wheel cuz right now im running 235/55/15
