I'm kinda leaning toward the 18s with a 235/55 and a 255/55 tire combo. I would really like a 285/50 on the back (I like em fat) but can't seem to find a matching tread for the front. What size spacers did u wind up using?
Nope, now that it is all together I like the 285/35s. I couldnt find a size I liked in 18" that was a decent price. Any larger than what I have is an odd ball size and they go for a premium.

It was under $180 out the door. There is a guy on ebay selling them for like 170 shipped any size you want.
