Which tires for 18x9.5?
I'm a indecisive little nancy and so I keep moving in between 305's and 285's for my 18x9.5" 6"BS wheels. I've been told with a 2/4 drop (planned) 305's may rub a decent amount at full turns or bumps, and I really don't want to be pushing my fender inadvertently for an extra 1". So I've been trying to get my options. Anyone have opinions on these options?
Weight is a concern as well as I would like to keep the best performance. 295 seemed like a good compromise....

Good job agreif, keep the specs coming, I saw some Goodyear 285x50's somewhere on the web that weighed 31# but haven't been able to locate them again. I am also weigh conscious and don't want no rub issues so I am going to stick with the 285's
