Does anybody know the biggest tire size that will fit on an 18 x 10 rim? I currently have 275/35 on the rear, but they are about due for replacing and would like to get a wider tire if possible.

when I researched this I found that a 295 is a comfortable fit, but that 315 is iffy....depending on the offset the inside of the tire might rub on the exhaust pipe etc....

295 is a perfect fit for the rim... i did however have to roll my fenders because the offset on saleen replicas sits them out really far.
305's work well also. i would not go less than 285's on a 10" rim.

If you are looking to put the biggest tire you can in
the rear than you will want a narrow tire like the Nitto
555's.I think you should be able to fit 305's or 315's.

The 315 555's will work fine. I have a pic of a 315 555R next to the 295 BFG's that I ran on my 18x10 Bullitts, they're the same size. It almost looks like you could fit a little more on the rim.

Here are some pics for reference:

i always hear that BFG's run big and Nittos run small, but never seen any specific pics or anything.

that is kinda surprising though, that the 295 BFG and the 315 nitto look to be about the same size in your pic.....

nice comparrison pic
