285/35/ZR18 & 315/35/ZR18 Nitto NT555.
U can go with 285/35/18 too, but it look bit too much rim for the tire.

I would look for somethig else like FR500 or some SSR.

03 Cobra was the chit back when I got it, butunfortunatelly 03 Cobra is bit played out now...

I purchased mine from AFS and I went with Toyo tires. AFS Wheels is a very good company to deal with. Good luck.

I bought a set of Falkens for my 18x9's. Although I haven't had the chance to try them out yet, they are rated fairly well by those that have owned them. Not to mention for the price, they seem provide a really nice balance of traction, tread wear and over all bang for the buck in comparison to most. As for the BFGoodrich……the new tread pattern is nice to look at, but unless they've done something to decrease the horrible tread wear they're known for, I’d skip 'em.

These are the tires I've got on my car

Falken FK-451's



Check out some of the rating and price here....
