Tire size?

I've got the base wheels too. Been researching next tires. Check TireRack . They have acceptable rim width listed under the specs for various tires. Look up your potential tire "Continental Extreme Contact".

I'm looking at going 245 up front and 265 on the rear and the charts say both fall within the allowable rim width for us. 8" wide up front 9" wide in rear.

You can compare diameters too, to avoid the traction control issues.

Remember that the 8" Front wheels are 9"wide from lip to lip & 10" for the rear.... So gauge your tread width to that.....unless you like a stretched look or a bulged look

Strangely I didn't get much help on this fourm on a similar question a while back. I went ahead and did the research and got advice from discount tires and went with michilen pilot ss. And did 255/40/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the back. And I will tell you, the pilot super sports are amazing. I could not beleive the grip and tried allot of things to get the tiresto break free "under steer and over steer". They are crazy good. And they are crazy good in the rain as we'll!

That's cool-if you don't mind going almost 3/4" shorter on tire height...only throws speedometer off 2mph @70
i went with the stock 26.7" diameter tires.....i know the PSS's are good!
