265 or less... good luck finding a non-racing tire in that small size with 18" wheels...

just run some 285s and trim the airdam a little... looks great

Whats the problem with trimming a little here and there? Trimmed my bumper inwards and the fender cover - but cannot be seen at all.
Running 9 inch wide wheels up front and 10 inch in the rear w/o any problem....

Unless you are going to run a low profile street tire, I think about a 285/60 is the smallest you can go. I've got 285/65's right now, but when it comes time to replace I'm going with the 60 series Nitto Terra Grappler. Even with this combo, t-bars were cranked up and had to trim the front air dam a little. It's really not that big of a deal to trim the front. Unless you point it out, 99.9% of people don't even notice it.
