I think it looks fine, I put 255/35/18 yokohama evs 100 on the front 2. Heres a pic of the back ones there are yokohama avs sport. If you drive on rough roads be sure to get a road hazard warranty, i learned that by wrecking 3 and not having the warranty.

315's is what i would LOOOOVE to have!!! anybody else know if i can run this type of width on my rim? thanks guys

315's will buldge a bit on a 9" wheel, but it can be done. The Nitto's seem to be a touch skinnier than some others, so I'd suggest those.

If you do a search i'm sure you can find some pics from people that have done.

Since you have 18s you can probably go with some 305s because I think they only make 315s for 17" rims. So, basically 295 or 305 would work. If I were you i'd go with the 295s though.

295-305

I have 315's on 17" x 9" Cobra R rims on my 95 Cobra. They are Michelin Pilot P's. They fit great and do not stick out at all.The only thing I did was have my inner fender well lips ( in rear ) rolled. I run 245's up front. I do not know if there is a company that makes a 315 to fit a 18" rim. Just call up your local tire dealer and ask them. They should know. GOD LUCK!

The difference is aspect ratio. you can run a 315/35-18 on those rims, but a 30 series is shorter and wider and may bulge out on the rim. Check the tire manufacturer specs to find the diameter that is close to stock and will work with your rim width.

sorry 315-35-18 fit 10.5 rims! my bad
