time for new tires, and im wanting to get some 255/45/18 NT555, but i dont want the tires to buldge outside the rims to much. Does anyone have any pics of 255's on the stock 18's? and ive already searched for a while

also i was wondering what size tire i could get that would be a little taller to fill up some wheel gap, or should i just stick to the 255/45?

thanks.

I run 255/45/18 BFG KDW on my stock 18 polished Bullits. No bulge at all - not even the slightest bit.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS. About $185 each. Awesome dry and wet weather traction. One of the best all-season high performance tires on the market, IMO.

The Hankook Ventus V12 Evo is supposed to be a really good tire, it came in second in a Car and Driver tire comparison out of 8 tires I think. Beat some other well known tires like the Falken Azenis 615 and Kumho Ecsta RS.
