I'm going to order 18x9 wheels for the front of my car and 18x10 for the rear. I was thinking about running 255/40 up front and 275/40 out back. Is this a good size? If not, please tell. Also, if you think you have a better tire set up with 18 inch wheels, can you post pictures so I can see it?

BTW, my car isn't lowered and I have no intentions to lower it in the near future.

I agree, the wheels are not made in a 17" size so it was 18"s or nothing. I am happy with the look. With that said if there were 17"s I would surely have them instead.

Love the Drift wheels, Grover. Something about silver wheels on Reef Blue just looks so right.

Why such a hatred of 18's? They're aren't like the 20 or 22's I've seen on new musclecars.... I'm quite happy with my 18's.

I would much rather have 17's than 18's but I can't find the wheels I want in a 17. But, Grover your car looks awesome. It is stock ride height?

No, there is very little stock left on my car. I run coil-overs all the way around.

Dang. Oh well.

The tire sizes seem really wide on this kit, and heard that on the rear you have to roll the inner fender to give enough room for a tire after a certain size. Is that just for lowered cars or can I fit these just fine under my stock height car?
And I assume I may also have some rubbing issues on the front when I turn all the way due to the wide wheel and tire?

275's up front normally take a good bit of work to make fit, not worth it to me.

I like 1992Hatch's car with 18"s. Why all the hatred?
I'm going to hijack his pictures he just posted over in his paint thread. Everyday I have to talk him out of painting them because he keeps asking me
