Tire size recommendation?
I'm getting 18x10.5 wheels for the rear and am wondering what tire size to get. I don't want giant ugly side wall, also don't want stretch. I'm looking at 275/35-r18, thanks ahead of time for the help.

Look at this table of 18" sizes. Last number on each line is diameter in inches
225 45% 18 25.97 Stock Reference Size
245 45% 18 26.68 Stock Reference Size
245 40% 18 25.72
255 35% 18 25.03
255 40% 18 26.03
255 45% 18 27.04
265 35% 18 25.30
265 40% 18 26.35
275 35% 18 25.58 A little low by nearly 1/2"
275 40% 18 26.66 Almost dead on.
285 30% 18 24.73
285 35% 18 25.85
285 40% 18 26.98
295 30% 18 24.97
295 35% 18 26.13
295 40% 18 27.29
305 35% 18 26.41
305 40% 18 27.61
FYI (and from chart), typical 18" upsizing is 245/40-18 (or 255/40) Front and 275/40 (or 285/40) Rear.
EDIT: Should mention this is for street use mostly; if you Track or AX, sizes will vary and generally go wider/lower for acceleration and grip benefit. Speedo doesn't matter much at that point and VDC switched off.

Hmmm okay guess I'll be going with 275/40 in the rear, wheels are 22 offset 18 x 10.5... now for the front HAHA! Definitely Don't have a single clue about the tires for these, front will be 18x 9.
Also note I have base version so 17 inch wheels all around.

For front, re-read above and look at the table to see why I suggested the sizes.
