I'm really close to purchasing these wheels and I need some help with tires. I've been informed that 225/40/18 (front) and 255/35/18 (rear) is the way to go for these wheels. The tires I want to purchase are not available in these sizes. Are there any other choices besides the previous sizes? Thanks!!!

Wheel specs
18x7.5 +48 offset (Front)
18x8.5 +50 offset (Rear)

I think the 255/35R18 is going to rub in the rear with that low of an offset. It does give the most options for tires though. The only other good size is the 245/35R18.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you

i have a falken 451 245/35 which finally fit on my rear. what could be the best tire pressure for 35 series? they're kinda scary to use. can these tire go faster than 120mi/hr?
i'm afraid it may blow if you would compare it to to bridgestone s02 50 series.

Hey, Jim@tirerack recommends using regular tire pressure as you would for stock wheels/tires. Anybody have anything to add to this? Thanks!!!
