heres a question relation to backspacing and what not!

im trying to ascertain what will be the widest tire i can use with some 18x9 rims with 4.5 backspacing and still be within the flares for those annoying legal reasons!

at this stage im hoping for

325/60R18 12.8" wide, new flares required i bet!
305/60R18 12.01" wide, might go here if no flares required.
or lastly 275/75R18 if i cannot afford flares and the 305s wont fit.

please have good news for me chaps!

thanks
Geoff
