I'm gonna be getting some new rims and tires soon. I plan on getting the 18x9 Chrome FR500's. I want the same size tires all around so I was wondering what the widest tire I could go with all the way around withuot any rubbing.

The best size would be a tire that is 275mm wide, probably a 275/35/18

you could put 315s on there, but they'll bulge pretty bad

When you say they will bulge, does that mean they will stick out of the wheel well?

No, he means the rubber will stick out past the rim...instead of ending flush with it.

putting a tire that to wide for a rim on a rim doesnt really get you anything other than the looks of the buldge that some people like, you cant use the extra rubber very well so it doesnt do much for performance... probably hurts it more than anything.

I have the exact same wheels and I'm running 275-35/18's all the way around. I'm lowered 1.5 inches and rub the swaybar slightly at full lock on the front. My way to solve that...don't go full lock lol. Other than that not a problem. I don't believe you can go any wider on the front without running into major issues.
The 275's are plenty wide enough to grip the ground though, much better than the factory 225's.

Could someone show me a picture of them on a car(275/35/18)? Perferably a back view so I can see what they would look like?

Here's a shot of mine and the gf's cars.
She has 255 (stock size) and mine are 275. You can def tell a difference.
I may have one from right behind the car if you want me to post it as well.
