What is the best combo for the 18'' wheels without rubbing problems?
I need to know wheel size and tire size. I know tire brands play a big role but I am looking for cheap tires. These are going to be for my second set of wheels and tires. My FR500's are going to be for my Nitto set up. Thanks.

Imho, the FR500 from my experience is the best fitting rim out there for our cars especially if you are planning on a big brake kit upgrade. I dont even use a spacer on the back and I run a 315/30/18's Michelin Pilots. When I had Cobra R 17's with same size tires I had to use a spacer so it wouldnt rub.

The reason they don't rub is because you went from a 17" to a 18" so the rim now clears the bolt.
