you'll get alot of help here as I did bout tires & such, these guys aregreat when it comes to asking for help. I'm going the same size as u---18x9-front 18x10-rear & getting them with tiresmounted, bal. from "American Muscle" Check em out on there site, look at the wheel sizeyour using & check there recomended tires for them. They only deal with things like Mustang I believe

The wheel backset is the important measurement. The stock wheels have a 6 3/4" backset. You should be able to addan additional 1/2" more of backsetwithout hitting the rear shock with the tire. That means you can use a 10" wide wheel with up to 7 1/4" of backset without any clearance problems.
