Tire size?

A quick question about tire size before I order wheels and tires. If I am getting an 18x8.5 inch rim. What size tires do I need to keep the stock diameter? So that I do not get extra rubbing. Thanks!

Re: Tire size?

Rubbing has more to do with wheel backspace than tires.

245-40-18 will be the tire to get for your 8.5" wheels...
