just make sure the diameter is with in 3% of original or the calibration (speedometer) will be off, if you have a tuner get what ever you want i am trying to get a 18x11 rim for some 315's

I would go with Dan's setup of 255 45R18 KDW BFGs on all four corners. Check out his thread: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?sh...97&hl=fanblades

Same as they said. 255/45/18's. The KDW's are a good tire but noisy if you get the new tread design. Also known as the KDW-2 or KDW-NT.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend going over a 255 on an 8.5inch wide rim. That said, with the same tire at each corner you can still rotate your tires.

Check out http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirebran.jsp and browse the different brands. Most have user feedback on each tire describing treadlife, noise, performance, etc.

If that was a question, my answer is yes.
