Default Biggest Tire I can fit under the 06 on a 10" Rim....

Decided im going to get a set of Deep Dish Bullets for my 06.


The car is going to be lowered using a set of Steeda Ultralight Springs.

Putting a Set of 18x9's up front.
And a set of 18x10's in the rear.



What size tire combo should I go with? I want the meatiest tire I can fit on this 18x10 rim that will not rub, and what size tire should I put up front to go along with it.

Also I don't need any spacers for these wheels right?

Depends on if you get the correct offset. Where are you getting the wheels from?

I'm thinking about switching to the 18x10s for the street also, and the two tires I'm looking at are the Nitto 555 295/45-18 and the Nitto 555R 305/45-18 drag radial. I'm leaning towards the drag radial right now.

So I should be able to fit a 305/45 on there with no rubbing on the DD bullits? What about a 315?

I just installed Michelin Pilot sports on the Roush put 315's on the rear,and 275 ZP's up front. The 315 30 18's fit fine on a 10" wheel,without any crazy buldge,and look better IMO.Yes.. a min 10.5" wheel is recommended for them,but 10" work fineand my local tire was inpressed how they looked. Car handles better now than it did with the KD's. point being...dont fear the 315

I went with 255/45-18 front on 9" rims and 285/40-18 0n 10" rims in the back. I do not think you will get much more width in the rear without modifications...

315s will definately work with a 10" wide wheel.

Yes but on a DD Bullit they will stick out beyond the quarter panel. If you're set on 315's you may want to look at a different wheel (IMO).
