Default Tires for a 18X11 weld wheel

Guys what tires are you running on a 18X11 wheel. I currently have 18X11 weld rts wheels for the rear and running MT 345/45/18. Its not a daily, so I run them on the street as well. But what is a good longer lasting street tire I can run on an 11in wide rim. I do love the look of the 345/45 thoughthey fillup the wheel well very nicely. Pics if you have them.

+1 to 295/35/18 on a 18x11. I have tried the toyo t1 sport and they run pretty wide for a street tire.

345 belong on minimum 12” wheel, mine are 13.
Post up some rear/ side shots to show how far they stick out.

They fit nice and flush, granted 12in, is the recommend wheel width for that tire. I was more interested on a tire that last alittle longer and has great performance for an 11in wide rim and the correct size. Keep in mind I don’t daily my car and live in Ohio where we get snow and freezing temps for 4months out of the year. It only see sunny weekend days.

A couple you might want to look at:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS-2, 315/30 ZR 18, section width 12.6", tread width 12.5"

BF Goodrich G-Force Rival, 315/30 ZR 18, section width 12.6", tread width 11.4"

I thought an 11 inch wide rim would fit under stock rear quarter panels
