I feel a 275/35/18 and 315/30/18 or 315/35/18 is your best bet. 3/8 spacer would be perfect too.

You said you don't want to roll your fenders, but I would if I were you.

Congrats on the new car. Great color. Is it a black top for tan? Like Ray said why don't you want to roll your fenders? I'm running a 10.5 rear with a 335 here's a pic for reference.

265/35/18 in the front 18x9, 305/35/18 in the rear on a 10.5 inch wheel, but I'm think of going to a 315/30/18 drag radial

Pictures show 265/35/18 up front but recently put 275's back up there. 305/35/18's out back fit just perfect on my car. I don't want to have to modify stuff just to get a little wider tire.

This looks so badass. Is their any bulge with the 335 out back? What all did you have to do to fit those? Low profile IRS bolts I assume with rolled fenders, any spacers? Your car is one of my favorites on here, nicely done.

Zero rubbing and no rolling the fenders for mine. I do have MM irs bolts and H&R race springs. 305/35/18 nitto drags, rear rim is 18x10. Looking to get the same size in the proxes R888 this summer.
