Forgestar F14 18x10 - 18x10 Tire Sizes???

Hey guys, new member here but long time reader of the these forums

I just got my Forgestar F14 18x10 - 18x10 all around and I'm trying to decide on tire sizes???

I don't want to really stretch these but I don't want to roll either with my springs...

I'm thinking 265 all around or maybe 275? Just curious to see what you guys are running. Pics of the above setup would be awesome!!!

BTW, BIG Shout out to Paul over at http://howeyindustries.com !!! They hooked me up big time and answered like 30 emails of mine, lol.

I read those threads and didn't seem to find what I was looking for... Thanks but I guess I'll just hit up the vendor for a recommendation. I figured I could just get a quick answer here.

265/35 18 will keep your speedo close to accurate.

Go for the gusto pick up a set of 285s. You will not have any issues with any of the sizes you listed as long as you are not crazy low.

Go with 265/35/18 if you don't want to do fender work and haven't bought tires yet. 275 is questionable, and 285 will need to be rolled... how do I know? I used to run 285's on the same width/offset, on lowering springs only. Coilovers might be okay though due to the higher spring rate. Post up pics in the "Calling all Forgestar's" thread when you get them on. What color did you go with?
