Tires for 18x11 TF wheels on an IRS - 295, 305, or 315?

[SLOWBRA]

What's the recommended tire size for 18x11 wheels (TF wheels, sleeper offset)?

I've been running a set of 04 Sleeper's OG TF Chicane 18x10.5s for the past 10+yrs and during that time I've ran 305/35 Nitto R2's and now run 295/35 NT05's. I'll be replacing these wheels with a new set of TF Mach 5's that are 18x11 with the Sleeper offset. It's going on my vert which is slightly lowered and running the slim IRS bolt.

I'm debating between 305/35 and 315/15 tires (as well as the brand as I know some run slimmer than others). Curious what ya'll are running size wise and to see some pics

Definitely will need a 315 or 335 for an 11" you may be able to get away with a 305 but I would recommend the other 2.

Having not had to buy tires in many years I am a bit concerned about availability after searching for that today. WTF…

I personally don’t like how tire bulge looks. I’ve had a lot of different tire sizes on all different Mustangs and this is my favorite. Toyo 295/30R18.

Can you share any more pics? I agree regarding the bulge, but also want a little protection for the lip of the wheel too!
