315/30R18 Tires Alternative...

Well i have moved to 18" wheels and I seem to be in the same predicament I was before. LOL.

I'm running 12" rears and 9" fronts, or will be after I coat them and put some rubber on them. I received them with 315/30R18 rear and 235/40R18 tires in meh shape. I figure I will just wrap them new after they are done.

But, it seems tires sizes in 315/30R18 are very limited in selection. What comparable size are people going with on a 12" wide wheel on a WB body?

And am I ok going with a 245 in the front for some extra width? If so, what size are most using in that width? Also, I am RWD converted.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I've 4 cornered recently the p zeros. after what seemed like a bit longer than I was used to with the ps2's/pss combo that the p zero's took longer to "settle in/down" from new. i'm same sizes also but have gone to the 8.5 fronts from a 9.

there is no better deal to be had for premium rubber than the pirelli's right now. fronts are 132 and i paid 400 a copy rear. TR.
