You shouldn't have any problems putting them on a 18X10 should fit fine. ANd as to how long they would last on a daily driver, Depends on how heavy your foot is. They are a soft compound tire so they will wear out quicker than normal street tires. I run 275/40/17 on the back then when I go to the track I put on my 315/35/17 nt01's 2 sets of wheels and tires so I don't wear out my drag radials just driving around..
they will fit yours fine...and yes...the KDW drag radials are bad a$$!!! i assume you have the new tread(flame tread) but like sgtbrad said...they will wear a lot quicker...

I'm thinking about 15,000 miles but again it depends on how heavy you are on the gas. Most of your soft compound tires are going to be around 15-20,000 miles if you don't stand on it, BUT as we all do When you press the skinny vertical pedal to the floor then you can count on much less milage out of the tires. If your not going to be racing it all the time I would get a good set of street tires for everyday and a second set of wheels and drag radials for the weekends at the track.
It's slightly too wide - 10" is the minimum wheel width for the slightly smaller 295/35 size (which has a slightly taller sidewall that gives you a wider range of appropriate rim widths). What you really need for 315/30 is something between 11" (min) and 12" (max). 10.5" *might* work OK, but since I wouldn't do that for myself, don't take that as any sort of recommendation from me to mount a tire on a less-than-minimum wheel width.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that the available traction from a 315/30 peaks at its measuring wheel width of 11".

Well, the tires I have on there now are a 285 and they look like they are stretched to fit. So I figured a 315 might be a little too wide, but better than a 295. I couldn't find that tire in a 305 width. Do you think I would be better off getting the 295 then?

Looks-wise, the lower-profile tires (especially 40 and lower) probably do look a little "stretched" when mounted on proper width wheels - there just isn't as much sidewall there to bulge out much. A rim guard molded into the sidewall may exaggerate this appearance by making the tire look even wider at the rim than at the tread. So the sidewall may look pretty much straight up-and-down as a result. It should.
