Default Need help with wheels

Okay, I'm on the fence here. I'm not really sure which wheels I want. I have been looking at the American Racing Razors with Nitto tires. The package would be 18" X 9" Razors with silver paint and 255/45/18 for the front and 285/40/18 for the rear (Nitto 555 extreme). However, I'm just not positive that it would look right.

The problem is I think I need to stay with silver. The stripes on the car are color coded to the same silver as on the Ford Bullitt wheel. Hence I think it would look of if I went with gun metal or anything other then Silver (the Razors are almost a perfect match).

Anybody have some thoughts on this? Should I stay away from staggering the tires? Should I go to a wider front tire? Please keep in mind the car has the Eibach Prokit installed.

I definetly need some help with the wheels and tires; I guess I've been going back with oem for too many years!

I like the look of staggered wheels, makes the car look sportier, more aggressive....
