Default 18x10+18 on 05 track Q's

I have a set of 18x10+18 rims (yes all 4 are same size) and was wondering what tire size would be needed to make this work on an 05 track edition.

Not familiar with the tire sizes for these yet, something that would not make the VDC act up at least. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

I see a lot of people running 245/40 up front and 275/40 for the rear (9.5f and 10.5r) but I'm not sure if the 245 for the 10s would be to much of a stretch

Car will be dropped on coilovers once rims tire size is resolved thank you again for the help

265/35 or 275/35 would probably work best.

The front wheel will be a tight fit. You will have to stretch the tire.

I see so I'm guessing I'm gonna need to pull the fronts to even make these fit with a 265 and some aggressive camber for the fronts.

Thank you for the help fellas still learning this car.

No wheel liners up front and rear fender rolled/pulled.

This is the only way to play.

Would the 265f and 285r be a fine combo for the vdc?

not sure if you're trying to run a staggered tire size on a square wheel setup but there are quite a few options you can run with from what i've researched in the past.

275/35 all around
265/35 all around
275/35 front 275/40 rear

and all the above previously mentioned setups would probably work since i'm pretty sure i got this information from a few of these guys.

^ I would stay away from squaring the setup for a DD unless
you like the car to give you some very interesting steering
response.
