-275/35/18 up front, IIRC. Full details in my post on the thread mentioned above.

If you're running a 325/30 tire on 10.5" wide wheels, it's not a recommended combo. The sidewall will be sucked in a bit. Just my opinion...Well, actually not. Most, if not all tire companies don't recommend it, either. Just sayin'...

I lied actually, they are 19x10. BUT I like fat tires, and it's the look I wanted. The car is a garage queen, I have a racecar for pushing hard.

A 10" width wheel is way too narrow for a 325/30/19 tire. Even a 305/30/19 is pushing it.

I've got 19x11's with +65 offset and Hankook 325/30/19's on my car. My new wheels are 19x12's.

Nittos "run small" I wouldn't recommend a 10" rim on anything but Nittos if you are going 305. I have 295s on a 19"x 10" with Michelin rubber and thats as wide as I felt comfortable going.
