alright, ill go with whatever the site says to get then. thanks for the help everyone. and OE wheels has some pretty cheap rims, ill probably go with them, especially if they have ones without rivets.

I have a 18x9 and I have 275s on them. I would say 315 would be better, I would think 275 on a 10.5 would be stretched.

yea i will just call when i order them and see if they have the 315s for it and see what they think too. and do you think i should go with anthracite or chrome. i got the stock chrome pony package rims now and im afraid to change the chrome to something else kuz i might not like it. mustanglouver's cobras are pretty sweet and i think id like something like that but im not sure

I run 265 width on 9" rims up front, 295 on 10" out back - fits perfectly.

On a 10.5" rim I'd go 295 to 315 then pick your side profile ratio to match the stock outside diameter.
