Alright so the 18x9/10 Bullitts will be ordered soon, then comes the headache of ordering tires. Being a fox I need something narrow but fills the rim without being stretched. I am debating 235/40/18s out front, 275/35/18s out back? Also might run a 245/35/18 out front and the 275s out back? Anyone with 18s and pics have any input?

This is a 235/35/18 Goodyear F1 on my car. I am going to go a bit larger w/ a 255/35 in the front. You should be able to fit a 275/35 on the rear with relative ease but it also depends on your combo (axles, lowering springs, wheel offset)

I did 245 45 18 in front on a 18x8 and 275 45 18 on rear on a 18x10..I pounded the rear inner fender, removed small strut in rear. I rolled the front fender and grinded the a arm.

Any pics, those 45 series tires sound large...

I am running fox length 5 lug axles, and 94-95 spindles and brakes all around. Those tires look pretty good, but Im worried a 235 isnt going to fill out the 9" wheels, and same with a 275. I dont have quads and will have the fenders rolled!

Yeah, in front I would go with atleast 255, maybe 245 but you will scrape the rim when you park. the 275 on 9's will be fine.
