Well it depends on the width of the rim. I have 18x9' on the front, and I run 265/35/zr18's. On the rear I have 18x10's. I have 295/35/zr18's there. If it's an 18x8 rim I'd go with probably a 245 or 255 all the way around. The stock rims on my Cobra were 17x8. They came with 245/45/r17's, so245's would be like stock.
