If you wanna go with 10" wide rims in the rear...a 255 will just fit. I would probably go with at least a 265.

Holy crap, I'd go with at least 275's myself. They just look sqare on a 9" rim, never mind a 10" rim. Anythign narrower would look retarded!

I'm running 305/35/18 nitto dr's on my 10" rims, nitto's tend to run a little narower than some of the other brands and they fit perfect, I used to run 295 pirelli's. I think you would want to run at least 285's because if you even get close to a curb you're gonna scrape your rims. Go to tire rack and look at the rim size chart for the tires your interested in.

Take advantage of those 10” rims. Go with nothing less then 275’s. I would personally go with 315’s.
