I don't have 18x10s, but I'm pretty sure that you won't be happy with 265 width tires on a 10" wide rim. The tires will look like crap, and they may not even fit on right. You need at least a 285 width for it to look ok. If I was getting a 10" rim, I wouldn't get any other tire than a 315 width... just my opinoin.

Got some 275 on 10.5" rims and it looks BAD. I wouldn't go below 295 on a 10" rim

Man, that sux. I bet you could get one if you knew somebody, they're just not available for schmos like us...

I can't tell the difference between 305 and 315 with the naked eye anway.

I'm sure the traction is just as well too...it can't make that much of a difference.

I run 295's on my 18's. I dooubt you can fit any narrower. I assume that your car is blown. With 265 you can forget hooking up. I roast them all though first and second easy with stock gears. You'll need more meat in back!

Well, here's a shot of my 18X9.5's Close enough guess. I got 275's and they're PERFECT! If you're getting 10" rims, I'd say 285's in front and 305's in front if they make them. 315's might be pushing it...

tis better to be too wide than too narrow. Too narrow looks like crap and could damage your rim's lip on extremely hard corners (for front tires anyway).
