18's fit better. With the tire combo I plan to run, the overall diameter will be within a mm of the stock wheel/tire size. A 275 in back on a 17" rim is too tall, and a 265 isn't wide enough for what I want.

Nitto 315/40/17 NT555R's on a 17"x10J 45mm offset rim kick *** on the back of a FD

and they fit

I don't drag much. When I do I'll throw the stock wheels on back with drag radials.

Speaking of widths, what's the widest tire you can run on an FD rim without having to worry about safety issues. Let me rephrase that, what's the widest rim needed to run the widest tires available (335's I assume)?

A 315 nitto is a about a 295 in any other brand of tire (nitto's sizes are sligthly not correct) a 275 Nitto is a 255 and so on.. with the 315 Nitto's on my car with those rims it was damn close to touching everything so I don't know that I would go any bigger than that without doing a little overfender action...
