Tire doesn't matter, just need a set for my rear wheels.
PM me if you have some.

You can run other tire sizes on the stock 18x8.5" wheel.

I flat spotted a tire, and was in dire need of replacing just that one. I didn't want a brand new tire since the other 3 tires were already down to 4/32". I bought my replacement tire on ebay for $55 shipped...just an idea just in case you don't have any luck here...

I know, I just need tires for my rear set as a temp.

Thanks for the heads up though.

Well if that's the case, maybe you'll want to consider some used tires I have sitting around:

245/40/18 Kumho XS
255/35/18 Bridgestone RE050A
255/35/18 Bridgestone RE01R
265/35/18 Falken RT615

Those are listed in order of cost from top to bottom, from $40-125/tire. I may have a pair of 225/45s as well, but I don't recall.

When driven hard, yes, just like the car does in stock form. On the street, you won't even notice it. You could up the fronts to 245 or 255 when they are gone, or 265 if you get another pair of 8.5" OEM wheels.

I'll PM you on Monday. I'm thinking of getting your tires and going with 245 up front which is what I'll probably end up doing.
