Me..... Id run a 255 on the rear, and a 215 on the front, 255 40 17 and 215 45 17, but that's me. Depends on how you use it, do you want spacers and a stretch, as much meat as possible, stock look. It's all up to you papi

Check the pics^, 225/45/18 on the front, and 255/40/18 on the rear, no spacers. You can run some 265/40/18 on the rear if you want, but they will rub just a little depending on ride height.(10 minuets with a fender roller will fix that)

I wouldn't go any wider than 225 on the front without dropping the the sidewall to a 40 series.

I run 225/45/18 up front and 245/45/18 in the rear.

45 sidewall is way to big on these, I'd stick with 40 if you can. The highest your suppose to go on these wheels is 265/35/18.

Their +33 but they clear my coilovers by a few mm.
