    WHAT SIZE TIRE

    I have the 18x8.5 alloy bullets with the stock BFG g-force 235/50/18. How big of a tire can I put on the rear with the stock 8.5 inch rim. I don't want a real low profile look but I want to go as wide as I can. I have 275/40/ 17 on 9" rims on my '95, will a 275/40/18 fit on 8.5's?

    Wanting a good drag radial for limited track use. I have 17" cobra r rims with goodyear eagle 275/40/17s on them.
