This is the cheapest place i ever found for tires, got my DR's from them and they shipped quickly and didn't take the money out til i got my tires, good company and good support, http://www.savastire.com/wheels_tires/nitto_tires.htm
Most likely they just dont have tires in that size, i haven't ever seen that size either, I have 315/35/17's but 18's would be too thin with only 35%, I'd look for some 305/45/18 or something good luck, hope this helps

for the 18's the biggest i have seen is 305's but i haven't looked that much seeing as i have 17's... Love those rims, enjoy, 305's would be more than enough anyways, my 315's are insane, i cant break them loose without dumping at 5grand....axles are gonna be gone the day after i slap the blower on..

Discount tire online

Check out http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/home.jsp
This is Discount tire online and they ship to your door for free. I put 255/40/17 on 17x9 fronts and 295/35/17 on 17x10 rears and the tires were BFG KDWS's and I had them in 3 days for about $550, you just can't beat that.

For an 18" rim you need 315/30-18. 35 and above is way too big.

Yeah, in 18s thats the only 315s I have seen. But man you'll take a beating on the road with tires that thin. 305/45/18 might be ok?

With the drop I have, I need to get a tiny bit more ground clearance, but If I go with 30s and 18s wont I lose ground clearance over the 17/40s? I dont want to raise the car, I just want my K-member brace more than an inch off the ground. I love the way it looks.

Way. Too. Big.

The 30 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread with. A 315/30-18 will have the same amount of sidewall as a 275/35-18 or 245/40-18.

EDIT: What size rims are these?

I have 295/35 Yokohama AVS Sports on my 18x10's, it's a perfect fit: nice flat sidewalls. No bulge, no rim sticking out. It's slightly larger than the stock diameter, so your speedometer will be slow by just a couple mph.
