275/35 should keep your speedo reading correctly.

275/35 is definately the size to get. As far I tires go I have heard a lot of good things about Kuhmo's pricewise. However going by track tests most places rate Bridgestone Potenza's as the best bang for your buck. Of course if price isn't an option definately get some BFG G-Force T/A's as they are rated best.

Ya, cut that sig down its WAY too big... Make a website for all those mods...

Yes, go with 275/35/18 I have those same sized wheels and bought them used from my friend who had brand new tires on them, but they are 275/40/18 and they rub once in a while. When I have to get new tires, I will go 275/35/18. And its up to you on brand. Many like Kumho, I personally dont, but thats my own personal opinion. I have Nitto 555 Extreme ZR Tires (not the drag radials) on right now and I love them.
