Default American Racing or Boyd Coddington????

Hey Guys,
I'm looking for a set of American Racing Torq-Thrust ST's in 18x8.8''. But I'm wondering about the Boyd Coddington Timeless 6's. I know the 18x8'' Timless 6's will fit my truck but will the 18x9.5" fit?? What would be the best tire for the 18x9.5" cause I want a full diameter of the tire to be 29.0 inches.

I basically have the Boyds in a american eagle 18x9.5(6" BS) and it fits fine. I have a 305/45/18. Comes out to be 28.8ish calculated and about 28.25 actual.

to get the 9.5" wide weel I had to get AE to make a custom batch of 10 sets. I don't believe they even make the x8's any more. The wheels came out to be about $250 each.

BTW the only way to get the American racing torque thrusts ST in a 18 is to find someone with used ones WILLING to sell, and thats not easy
