Default HELP, Need Thick profile tires on 18x12 rims???

Do these even exist? the closest I found were the Mickey thompsons that were 30x 12.00x 18. The height is perfect, but I think they will be too narrow for a 12 inch wheel. Does anyone know of a tire that is 30 x 13.5-14 x 18? I'm really in a bind, can't seem to find any company that makes these.

Thanks guys!

Yes I already have the wheels. I would have gone with 17 except they wouldn't fit the brakes in the front The closest thing I found were all terrain tires.

This is going to run on a minitubbed 70 firebird

Even a 335/30/20 is only 28" tall so the M/T is going to be your best bet if you're dead set on that kind of sidewall. When you get into the 12" widths, you're getting into supercar tire sizes and that almost always means 30 series sidewalls.

Yup Jay is right. That M/T that is 13.5-14 will work well on a 12" wheel as a 12"'wheel will measure 13" overall, so your tire bulge would only be about 1/2 inch on each side of the rim.

We sell Mickey for the same price as Jegs if your interested in getting the tires from us.
