I'm ordering the american racing rebels tommorrow. I just don't know what size to get for the rear. I have choices in 18x10 for the rear, 30mm offset with a 6 3/4 backside, and a 5x4 1/2 bolt circle. Or a 41mm 7 1/8 backside, and a 5x 4 3/4. Well i guess i just need to know what our bolt circle is, and if i'll have clearance issues with the offset. Also what are the ideal tires for this size wheel. That's the mai thing i need to know. Please help. thanks.

5X4-1/2 is ours, that's what you need. The others are for a GM most likely.

I think nitto makes a 305 for an 18" rim. That should work too I believe.

225-40s will be small, what width wheel are you using up front? If it's 8" wide I wouldn't go any skinnier than 245 and a 45 series. I would at least want a 255 width before I dropped down to a 40 series...

Just my $.02

What article? The fronts are 9" wide. What do you recommend? I really have no clue on tire sizes.
