Tire & Rim selection.

[Special Blend]

Hey guys. I just wanted to get a few more opinions on rubber.
I'm going to be getting 18 afs wheels with 18x10.5 in the back. I am going to order the Michelin Pilot Sports in 275/35/18 and 315/30/18.
Do you guys have any problems with these tires?
I dont want to go drag radials and most guys say the 295's look small on the 10.5" wide rim. I dont want the rubber to bulge to much.
Does a 315/30/18 bulge a lot on a 10.5" wide rim?
Anyone with close up pics are greatly welcome and thanks for any responses.

Ryan.

Is your car lowered?
Do you mind running a small wheel spacer? You might need them.

Here's a 315-35-17 Goodyear GS-D3 on a 10.5" wheel...

I have the Cobra Specific Steeda Springs and I dont mind running a spacer but don't really want to roll the fender.

Unless your car is really slammed and you're running 335s, you shouldn't have to worry about rolling the fenders. Almost nobody rolls the fenders on these cars.

i have 315 gsd3 on 17s and i rolled mine. i was rubbing mine sometimes and im running a 1/2 inch spacer. every car is different. 18's you should be fine. especially with steeda springs

Any reason you didn't go with the 3/8" LFP spacer? The wider the spacer the more likely it will be you'll have fender issues.

i just wanted to have more room between the bolt and tire. turns out i still had to shave the drivers side bolt a bit. i rolled my fenders and its not a problem anymore. i also have longer studs. better safe then sorry.

Thanks for the input. Ya I most likely will go with a 3/8 spacer just to be safe as well and get that filled out look in the rear. So you guys think the a 315 is a better choice then a 295 on a 18x10.5??
