I have 18"s and I run 225/40/18. I believe you can run 235 as well.

You can run up to 235's up front and up to 265's out back.

Just to wonder what purpose would running 265's on the back do? The tires would be more expensive, and unless you're a Corvette or Viper I don't think you really need tread that large. Plus we drive a FWD car

I've got that size rim on my car, and I run 235X40's. They work great! No rubbing! Go with the same size all around, that way you can rotate.

235/40ZR/18 is the size to get.

265 on the back wouldn't look too good and they wont fit 18" rims which usually come in 8" widths

Hey...does the state of Hawaii require a front liscence plate on vehicles? With that body package you have on your car, have you tried taking off the front plate and plate holder? Looks Awesome!!!

Yep, a front license plate is required. sux, I already got 2 tickects just for no front plate which then turned into like 3 more tickets because the cop was an @$$hole

Hey...I got an idea, keep your old front plate in the trunk But bang it up a little). Then if you get pulled over, you can tell him that your car got wrecked on the front end and that the plate was too smashed up to put back on.

heeheheh ....Merry X-mas
