Default Looking for a 285/?/18

I want to step up to a wider tire for my back and was wondering if anyone knew what the tire size would fit in the 285 range for a 18"x 10.5" rim.

I would search but I don't feel like it. I wanna say it is a 285/40? or 35?

Flame me...I could care less.

It's probably a 285/30-18 (depending on your front wheel/tire combo).

lately ive been seeing how people ask a question and state that they dont want to get flamed etc.


Is this site notorious for flaming people for asking questions that to some people should be second nature or that they think it would be found by using the search button and going through a lot of nonsense?

I installed 285/40/18 BFG KDW on 10" rears. I'm dropped about 1.5", so had to roll the rear fenders.

im going to be going with a 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 and have found that it doesn't look lik the hot rod HUGE rear tire look. 255/40 and 295/35 would also look good, and depending on how wide your wheels are 265/35 and 295/35 looks amazing and ver agressive, not to mention the more rubber on the road the better.
