Default Some basic fitment questions for a noob

Hey guys have some Wheel/tire fitment questions.

I知 finding some mixed sizes with packages from different vendors. I want to make sure I知 getting the right size for the right wheel. Here are the two wheels I知 looking at, pretty much the same wheel right?

Americanmuscle.com
18x10 rear wheel
http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...8x9-18x10.html
18x9 front wheel
http://www.americanmuscle.com/verde-...eels-18x9.html

OEwheels wheel package (pretty sure this is the vendor I want to go with)
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...ls-2005-Chrome

From the fitment guide on americanmuscle.com I think I need to 255/45-10 for the front and 285/40-18 for the rear. However both sites offer different tires in their tire/wheel packages. I壇 like to keep the same O.D. on the wheels as my factory set up. Should I stick with the tires in the packages or get tires based on the sizes I listed.

TLDR- What size tires do I need to fit 18x9/18x10 OE wheels and keep the factory od?

Don't go by OE Wheels recommendation for fitment, I purchased a set of wheels from these jokers, the offset was wrong for my car. As far as OE was concerned, as long as the bolt pattern was right, it's good.

Not to mention the crappy attitude of their sales people when I called them about it.

I recently had the chance to speak with Lance from OE Wheels, he was courteous and very apologetic for what happened to me in the past. I was assured that they have gone to great lengths to improve their customer service since that time and from the sounds of it, the "jokers" have left the building.
