I personally like them. And I think they look great on your car man.

So I think Im going with 18s all around... I found out that tires for 19s are pretty pricey haha.

Now I need to start looking for some tires... Im looking at 245s up front, and 275s in the back.

I got my tires from a place called Tires-n-parts, here's a link to the ones I got on the back of my car. Don't know if that's what you want to spend though, it was a good deal for me considering those are way more expensive up here.

do you pay attention to anything? most of this discussion here is how a 275 wont fit on an 8" rim. and i cant find a set of 4 18x9s. plus i like the staggered look.

i considered that once, but its not a good idea. if youre referring to 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 the 245s are taller than the 275s. if you want bigger tires on front, go ahead.

Brian, looking at possibly next week... Should be getting a check. Tax return is going to be used for hood and paint haha..

So Caleb, do they have any lower profile 245s? Id like 245s up front, but what you would suggest then? I want 275s in the back for sure. I dont think I can fit any wider on an 8.5 rim, if that even fits, anyway if I could, tires are pretty pricey for any wider than that. More than I really want to pay anyway.

My tires are 245/40-18 front and 275/35-18 rear and they are supposed to be the same diameter overall at 25.6 inches.

Do you mean size wise? 245/40 18 front and 275/35 18 rear.

Look at some Falkens if you don't want to spend a lot, they are usually relatively cheap and are supposed to be alright in terms of quality.

Thats such a good deal, but I think i want 18"s which I can get for $700 shipped.

What do you guys think is the better deal, woudl look betteR?
Hi, have you consider the loss of comfort? i have 18's on my car and seriously sometimes i get tired. Of course i think 18's look better, i'm just sharing my experience, but i'd like to say, i live in mexico, where the streets are damn bad. Hope u take the right choice.
