255/35r18 front
295/35r18 rear

Have this setup on my roush ( its what it came with off the lot ) Have no complaints about it this setup.

I run the KDWs. a 295 KDW is about as wide as a 315 Nitto, or TOYO tire, just FYI.

For some reason they don't make 265/35/18s in the KDW anymore, I used 245/40/18 on my 9" fronts and 295/35/18 on my 10" rears

I like the KDWs but I have set of 18s which 9.5" fronts and 10.5" rears, and I wondering what size tires to get for them since I think the 245/40/18s will be too stretched on a 9.5" rim.

I put rims and tires on my 99 cobra recently.

18x10 rear and 18x8.5 front. In the front we went with 255/40/18 and the rear is 275/40/18 (going off the top of my head).

For a good price on tires call up this alignment shop and talk to Jesse http://www.yelp.com/biz/treds-hayward

Tell him Jeff told you to call him.

I would agree with it being no smaller than 255 in the front. I have 275s all around on my sn with 17x8s and it handles well. Its a bit pricy but i would look for some 275s for the front and 295 in back

265/35/18 and 295/35/18 if it's a 94-04

If it's a 05+, I advise you to go slighty taller.

you need taller tires with 18's on a 05+body. get 40 series tires and the width is up to you.

+2, you could pull off 18's if you are dead set on that size with some lowering springs and tall tires. I'd do 19's if you were to purchase the rims.

Have this setup on my roush ( its what it came with off the lot ) Have no complaints about it this setup.

I run the KDWs. a 295 KDW is about as wide as a 315 Nitto, or TOYO tire, just FYI.

For some reason they don't make 265/35/18s in the KDW anymore, I used 245/40/18 on my 9" fronts and 295/35/18 on my 10" rears

oops! I meant 255/35r18. Sorry about that.
