i'm planning on gettin 18/8 Konig Illusion rims and was wondering the best size tires to get. Def tryna go as thick as possible and get the smoothest ride.

On 18x8 I'd go 245-45-18 or 255-45-18.

The tire size will depend on the offset of the wheel. +45 is stock. I'm running a +28 offset with 225/40/18s right now and the ride is a little more stiffer (that's what she said) than my last set which was 225/45/18s. If you go with 245s, I wouldn't go more than a +35 offset or else you'll be rubbing.

feel free to use a tire calculator to figure out what tires will fit, try to keep it within 3% of stock to avoid any issues with your speedo and ABS and such:use stock settings of 215/55/17 to compare http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_s...2=g35
