Default What size tire do I get???

I just got a set of 18" wheels for my 04 SCSB, an it already has a 3-4 drop an a 3:73 rearend. So I need somthing with the right hight to go with the 3:73s, but will still look good with my drop an still hook up.

So my question is, What size/brand tires should I run on my new 18s??

Nitto 555's don't come in a 285/50/18. The closest thing would be the a 295/45/18, and the recommended wheel width for that one is 9.5"

I had a 295/45-18 on a 9.5 wide rim with a 4/6 drop.
