I got a 255 55 and it looks nice and full. But I think anything more then 265 50 you will need to widen the rim. Make sure you go with factory speed rating or better

I have 295/45 r18 Nitto NT05's and they rub the stock shocks slightly on the corners but if you adjust your air ride a little bit it will fix that or buy aftermarket shocks.

I think the popular choices for our cars is the 295/45 18s, or the 305/45 18s, as for wheel width i would go with a ten inch widened wheel with a 15mm hub centric spacer.

if you want madness see my sig!!
