    A 265/35R18 front and 285/30R18 rear is a good setup for a 9" front and 10" rear wheel. But we need to know what offsets you have before we will know what will fit.

    i'm running 255/35/18 up front and 285/30/18. the only downfall for the low side wall on the tires is you can blow them out and bend your rims trust me i did it.

    rom,

    The offsets are printed on the inside of the wheels. They are probably in the 42-455mm range.
