Rears: 265-35-18
Please check with your tire shop to verify but I am pretty sure these are the correct sizes.

I think 255 in the rear would make it look better, I have 10" rears and 255 is BARELY stretched. 265 would be the chunky look (nothing wrong with that) but again, thats on a 10". would probably look monster truck on a 9inch

The correct tire sizing is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 That's what comes stock and what I am running on my 18x8s and 18x9.5s

54 is the offset. I'm lowered on Supersports they are actually getting mounted Friday so I'll let you know if the fenders have to be rolled but I think I should be good. What wheels are you thinking of?

18 x 9.5 et 53 with 255 at the rear fit fine with no rubbing. And I'm lowered on SuperSports. However in the future I will probably use a 265/35 tire. Up close it appears to be a tiiiiny bit stretched.
