What is the widest tire I can put on my stock 18" wheels with no rubbing or sticking out from the fenders? Basically I want a wider tire on my stock wheels but don't want it to look or drive weird.

Yup, Wired is right on... 245/40/18 and 265/40/18 is the exact set-up i have for stock '03 track rims. Front are wrapped in BFG g-force KDW 2's and rear with BFG Drag Radials.

Do you have pics of your 265's on your rears because when my factory rubber wears out, this is exactlly what I want to run as well, 245/40/18's and 265/40/18's on the stock '06 (2005 Anniversary) wheels.
Drag radials?? Do you run those sizes just at the drag track or can/do you corner with them too?

Check out this thread. It has more pics. I have Tanabe GF210 Springs installed currently. It dropped the car 1" in the front and 1.2" in the rear.

The stock touring 18's are 18x8" all the way around with a different offset for the front and rear.

I'm riding on 245/40-18 and 275/40-18 and I think they're great. There's some room but it's not bad. (On non-stock rims though).
With a black car it's tough to see the gap as much. And since the sun never comes out here in Portland and we get so much rain, I don't really have any bright pics. I lightened these pics so that you can see what the 245/40's look like up front, 275/40 in back.
