P265/40R18 27X10.50R18

I went with nitto nt 01 275-35s they look sweet and not monster truck status like the et streets look. they are very grippy and the car has almost no spin flooring it off idle. I've only had them 2 weeks so they aren't even worn in yet, havnt heated them up... I'm impressed so far. and drove in the rain a few times no scares on highway 75mph cruising speed. there cheap and they are nondirectional, big plus for an open diff. car.

I had the 265/40/18 MTs. They kill your trap speed though because they are so tall. Get the BFG 275/35/18.

Ya either the 265/40 or 275/35 will fit even if lowered.

2004 E55

Currently running 265/40/18 Mickey Thompson drag radials on my car using Sport (2) settings with no rub what so ever. Previously had brand new pilot super sports which just spun all of 1st and half of 2nd on full tilt.

With the DRs being cold, you get minimal spin in 1st and none in second. Once warmed up they just hook. I'm actually daily driving with these and except for them being a little bit loud and bouncy they seem just fine at 30psi.
