Looks like you can go even lower with that profile bro. Time to get some AirRunners.

225's on 8.5's are too mild, something like 215 sound be alright and 225 for a 9.5'' or 10'' rear.

FK 452's have a nice tread pattern but the sidewalls suck and don't stretch well. I like the Nitto 555. I have owned both.

Those FK452 stretch out nice because they are really not that black walled. Im stretching out 245 on a 9.5 in wheel very nice with Bridgestone Pole position run flats. I just love the side wall on those. It gives out a nice round stretch. Im planning on getting the Falken RT-615 245/40/18 for my 18x9.5this week. The only thing im worried about is stretching a fatty sidewall. It just doesnt look right. Those 40 series look like a 45 or 50 series.
