Cool Tire sizes for 18"x9.5" rims?
I just ordered some Steed Ultra Lite 18"x9.5 rims. Can anybody help with low profile tire sizes for these rims? Also, I don't want the sidewalls to bulge out much. Thanks for any help here.

You can do 275s on 9.5" rims.

Yeah, go for some 275/40's all the way around, but I would suggest maybe a mild drop to go with it since you will create a tad more wheel well gap. Not much, but these cars have too much as is.

What is the lowest profile and widest tire you can go with using the stock 17" rims?
