What size tires should i run in the back of my 2003 Gt with the 18x10's. I don't wanna necessarily go the biggest, but what do people run that have them? Thanks.

Yeah, I really like the KD's. They ride great and look good also. I really wasn't worried about the wet performance of the tire since it is not a daily driver and the only time that gets wet is when I wash it. The KD's are pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I am running 285/35/18 NT555's, once they are worn I am going to either a 305 or 315.

285's are the smallest you can use on a 10" wheel. try 305's the about the perfect size, or 315's but some people dont like them that big

anything over 295 is width will be outside the manufactures recomendation. which people will argue as not big deal. I don't pretend to design tires in my spare time so I just run what they recomend.

people run wider but I would buy a wider rim if I wanted a wider tire. when you mount a wider tire on a narrower rim it kind of necks in anyway. .

the most comon sizes in actual street tires is going to be 275, 285, 295.

I would go as wide as redomended and that is 295. I got 285's because I wanted BFG kdw-2's and they were out of stock on the 295's at the time.

I'd go with between 285 and 315... Try to get some Goodyear GS-D3's if you can I just got some 285/35/18 GS-D3's on my 18x9" FRPP FR500's and they look SICK!

But they're pricey
