315/30/18 Rear, Then you'll get same diameter as front & a .5' wider...

Might still need a small rear spacer for turbo.

With the extra .25'' going out on rear should be a Perfect fit, stock is 10'' 40et.

Depends on what spacer you are using, 315 would be tight if your final offset is 33 (stock would work fine with 33 offset)

No spacer needed, .25'' is tire, offset calculator says retracted 3mm, Tire will make up for that plus a few mm's.
