I think 255 will work fine but I have seen the 245's and they look good as well!

Status: offline I have 265 35 18 Pirelli's on a set of 18 X 8.5 Akuza rims. I think that is the widest you can go on a 8.5" rim.

Status: offline The widest you can/Should go is a 275 40 18 Rear and 255 45 18 Front for the 18x8.5 Fanblades. I have a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 DS G3 That i installed at work and fit great but didn't have the cash to buy them just yeat so I'll wear out the 235 50 18s for now but a 275 will work and looks great
