I am waiting for my wheels and tires to come in (hopefully soon). I went with
18x9.5 with 5.5 bs and 275/40/18 tires on the rear. I was going to go with
285 but thought that might start to rub but also seen that the difference was
only 1/2", a 1/4" front and back. I've read that some have even put
295/35/18 on the rear with no problem, still barely keeping it under the
fender.
The 275/40/18 should give a nice wide tire look with out any problems.
I can't wait to see what my ride will look like with the wheels and tires.

What is this guy's setup? Looks like 18s and 17s, but has he lowered the car? I emailed him but have not heard back.
