Not that anyone cares but i went with nitto nt555 285/40/18 rears and 255/40/18 fronts, also purchased American muscle SR springs 1.5" drop front and back, kyb gr-2 struts and shocks. Waiting for everything to come in so I can install.

Thanks guys I appreciate it, changed plans the wheels are on back order till god knows when so I bought wheel replicas deep dish bullits in anthracite 18x9 & 18x10. How wide of a tire can I go on a 10" wide rim? Also anyone running SR springs with stock struts n shocks? How is working for you?

You will be glad that you couldn't get the sumo's.! They are not a quality tire if you want any kind of traction. The 555's are much better.

Got the rear wheel mounted! I'm excited to mount the fronts on Monday when the tires come in. I'm loving it already!
