im thinking about getting 18x10 black saleen wheels for my car. I was looking at 315/30/18 tires but would they be to wide for the 10? I just love the look of the huge 315 out back

thanks
jeff

It's pretty much the perfect size tire for a 10" wheel.



Showing the lack of stretch or pillow: (I don't have much for pictures at this angle)

Would love to see more pics from diff angles. Any issues with fitting under?
I have the factory 295s out back and would like to go to that size in a drag radial or something.

Let me see what I can find.









Large pic, but great angle to show straight sidewall:

It had a good 1/2-3/4" on the inside before it would rub against the shock.

This is my last GT btw. Sold it about a year ago.

Yes. You need a shorter tire. 265/35-18 is ideal.
