Need help with tire size

I am wondering what tires sizes I can go with on an 18" rim in the back of my 96 TA. I will have 275/40-17 up front. What size will look good and fit well? Also, the car is lowered about an inch so clearence might be an issue.

Re: Need help with tire size

We need to know what size wheel you have for the rear. that will determine applicable tire sizes.

a 305/35R18 would look sweet...but I doubt it would clear without getting your fenders rolled.

Sorry about that. It will be an 18 x 10.5/ 54mm offset.
