Default Need help choosing new Rims and tires?

I am finally going to upgrade from the argent 17" stock rims and tires.

I am looking at going 18" and have found the Deep Dish bullets on sale ( 18x10 ) and wondered how wide of a rim can we mount?

Roush mounts the 18 x 10 and they have them lowered?

Mine is also lowered. I was looking to maybe stagger them with 18 x 9 in the front, 18 x 10 in the rear. With the widest tire in the rear as 275's.


Any suggestions would help.

Seems the most preferred set up for 18x9 is 255/45 and 18/10 is 285/40 . This will keep about the same diameter with the stock but 3/4 inch wider in the front and almost 2 inch wider in the back.

If traction isn't an issue, go with the 9's, if it is or if think it will be in the future, go with the 10's. Due to my ignorance when I bought my wheels I didn't even consider width when I bought mine and now I wished I would have gone wider. Hope this helps.

I'm doing 255/45 R18 in the front on an 8.5 wide rim and 285/40 R18 in the back on a 9.5 inch wide rim. According to TireRack these will fit without any issue (fingers crossed).
