On an 18x10 inch I would go with a 315.

on a cobra nine in rim, the only 315 you will properly fit is a nitto 315 b/c they undersize their tires slightly fyi

on a 18x 10 and you want wide, I would go with a 305 or 285, I have MT DR's on a 15x10 but they are really meaty at 275

depending on clearance issues...295 will work and 315 too.

285/35. any bigger (on the street) they will rub all over the tailpipes in turns. Even worse if you have larger than stock tailpipes.
A 10" wheel can't have a whole lot of offset or it will nevet fit in the wheel well opening.
