I just bought some black chrome fr500 rims and I need tires for them. The fronts are 18x9 and the backs are 18x10. I have a 99 gt and need help on getting the correct tire size that look and perform the best.

On my last set i had 245's in the front and 285's in the back and it was a good set up IMO. It just depends how much meat you want and from what i have experienced the wider in the back you go the more you end up having to spend for a decent tire
