Just sold a few items so now its on for a 5 lug conversion and 18s for my notch. What size tires for front and back? Car is lowered almost 1.5 inches and Im keeping my tail-pipes. I did a search but didnt find anything. Also what offset/back spacing for the wheels. 18x9 bullets from partshopper.

anything bigger then a 255/265 in the rear is going to bring clearance issues with the tailpipes.

wouldnt use anything over 255 in the front either.

i run 245/40 front, 275/40 rear. no tailpipes though, my 255 would have cleared some, 275 no way.

you can get saleens online for 200 a rim in chrome, or i believe 150 a rim in silver. not very expensive, but i dont know what you consider expensive. im going to get a set once my car has an engine again and moves.

255/40 is a good size tire and what most people go with.
