Tire recommendations?

Eibach Pro springs and FRPP 4.10's are in and all's well! I know my next move will be rims and tires. I'm already looking at a set of silver bullitts that are 18 X 8.5 now my question is how big of a tire can I put on the rear with those rims? I plan on keeping my 17's for winter. Suggestions?

So these tires wouldn't fit?
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S - 255/45/18 and 285/40/18

Edit: If these wouldn't fit the bullitts I'm looking to get then what size bullitts do I need?

you should have at least a 9.5" wide rim for 285's. 18x10's are recommended. I have 18x8 with 255's on the front and 18x10 with 285's on the rear

Love your Avatar Michael!

Yeah the sizes you're looking for I have on my car. 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 rear. I have 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 10 rims rear.

You going to Whiskey's tomorrow night? You'll see 'em then

Mike: I don't know as of yet what's happening Saturday. The avatar well, I put those down about 2 weeks ago and yesterday after getting Angelina back I thought it would make a nice picture.

Torrence: 20's huh? Now where would I find a set of 20's? Hmmmm...I wonder! lol
