Default Tire size question on C4??

I have picked up a set of wheels for the C4 (89) in 18x10 and 18x12. What size tire would be best to run? These are just going to be street wheels, I have several sets of A molds for DE's and whatever else.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Jeff,
I have been told 275/35/18 and 315/30/18 are the sizes but I thought I could run a little bigger. Hope this helps you. Maybe someone will chime in on this???!!!

Right, I have the Shelby wheels and will be installing them on a ZR-1 and have also heard the 335/30 or 345/30 will work in the back too, along with 285/35 for the front

I am leaning towards KDWs but man they are not cheap

I would think the 335/30 would fit... I just haven't ever really looked into different wheels until now. Dude you are right about the KDWs!!!

Could anyone help us out here????

Daniel
