Default Who makes a 325-30-18,or close?

Im in the process of looking a a set of wheels,dont want to but a 19in wheel on the rear but cant find an 18 inch tire for a 18-11.There are a few people running the Shelby Series 1 wheels so what are they running on an 18-12?

Jeff I've got Shelbys and I'm running Michelin 335-30-18 on the rear.

I really like the way they ride and grip...great improvement over the Goodyears.

Thanks for all the tips Guys,Im leaning towards a 325-30-19.The 335 is too big for what Im looking for at this point.Dont want to go 12 inch wheel in the rear but if I can get it to look right in the rear wheel well with the right offset thats the plan.

I have 325s on my OEM rear Z06 wheels. But if you visit the Z06 forum, you'll see that these wheels will accommodate 345s I believe. The 325s are fine for me and have enough clearance for the inner wheel wells.

Jeff,if you can get the wheel you want in a 19x12,for about the same price as a 19x11 or slightly more and with the correct offset,I would recommend you go that route. In the future,you may change your mind and want to step up to a 335 or 345.
FWIW,you can get a 315,325,335,345,or a 355 rear tire in a 19" sizing.
If I'm not mistaken,a 12" wide wheel w/8" backspacing (+38mm offset) will fit fine.
