Default Right tire sizes for 18" Ultralegger's?

tire rack recomends 225/40/18 for front, and 255/35/18 for the rear... my question is... are these tires big enough for an 18x8 and 18x9 setup? The tread width is unlisted ( for what I want to get... KDW2's ) and im wondering really how close this would be to factory stagger, and if a 255 rear is too small for a 9" rim. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

Those tire sizes are correct. Stagger will vary some depending on which tire. Shoot for about 85% front/rear. I personally run 215 and 255, but on 7.5 and 8.5"

The size tires you mention are the best. The 18X9 rear can use either the 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 no problem.
If I can help let me know.
Thank you,

Larry @ tire rack also said I could run 265's but I wanted to get 255's first to be sure that they would fit first.

The wheels are top notch!... as is tire rack service!
