I would go with some kind of 275/35/18s Get Nitto 555s I like them or BFGoodrich KDWs or KDW2s both great choices. But those rims are nice, you may need to lower it with springs if you want it to look really good though.

thanks 5 days left till it ships to my house! i need some good shoes for them.
Id like to also only spend $110 max per tire if possible, the guy is telling me the kumhos are the best, but i have no idea on tires really

Kuhmos are not the best. They are the cheapest but if you plan on spinning them often get the kuhmos. But its gonna be hard to find tires in 18s for 110 a piece. I dont think your even gonna be able to get 17s for that. tirerack.com is pretty good and they ship fast thats where i usually get my tires from but most 18s are like 200 a piece.

I bought Kuhmo and rather like them to be honest (not for the Saleen but for my daily 530i). They look great too.

I would seriously look at Nitto 555s as well...awesome and priced right. Check ebay for tires (like you did the rims). I bought 2 Kuhmo 245/40/18 and 2 265/35/18 for $400....that's cheap. Found them as a set, brand new.

I have Kuhmo 712 tires and they are noisey as hell. The wear is pretty decent though. I'm going with BFG next.

You should not have gone 18" if you are so concerned about the cost of the rubber

Nice deal on the rims though...
