Message if you are going with a staggered offset

with an 18x8 and an 18x9.5 I recommend 235/40R18 and a 275/35R18

if going with an 18x8.5 and 18x10 then I would recommend 245/40 in front and 285/35 in the rear.

If you are going with same size in front and rear
if its a 18x8 then 235/40R18 all the way around

if its an 18x8.5 then 245/40R18 all the way around.

I personally like the idea of 18x8.5 and 18x10 :-)

As far as tires you have alot of things to decide upon

1) Dry Traction
2) Wet Traction
3) Tire wear
4) Cost

In my book there are only a few of them that are pretty balanced and thats as follows

Nitto555s for dry traction and wear
Potenza RE730s for dry and wet traction
Sumito HTZ-II for dry and wet traction

All these are 280 to 300 UTQG (trear wear)

If you don't care about tread wear there are alot of options. For example like the AVS sports.
