Default help me with wheels

well ive decided on 18' chrome saleens. I think im going with 18x9 and 18x10. So what brand are the best i have looked at american muscles and the oe wheels on ebay. Which do you guys think are the best for price vs. quality. Also which tire sizes for the, i saw one guying selling them with 245's and 275's and that just seems really narrow for such a wide wheel. But what sizes do you guys think would look good, i would like them to fill out pretty thick. Also what brands are good but not going to cost a ton, these are just going to be summer wheels so i dont need winter traction or anything but would like them to hook descent. thanks alot.

I got mine from AM and I can't complain. I went 245/35/18 (on a 18x9) on thefront and 275/35/18 (on 18x9 also) on the rear. If I had to do it over again I'd probably do 265/35/18 on front and 285-95/35/18's on the rear. Mine are Toyos, which I like. With the 18x10 I know you could go 295, and I think even 305 on the rear, but anything above 305 you MIGHT have to do some work to it to make it fit, but I'm not sure.

Get them off AM you can use the coupon code and they are reputable and if you have problems upon shipping I'm sure they would swap out if that was the case. I have never had a problem with them. I run 18x9 Saleens all around 265/35fr toyo t1-r and 285/35 rear nitto dr. I would do a 18x9 265/35 fr and a 18x10 305-315 even with a 2" lowering you should not havr any issues rubbing or needing to roll fender lip etc. I suggest toyo t1-r or bfg kdw ntand even the nitto 555'sas a summer all around performance tire. Let me know if you have anymore questions Dan

What's the life spand on the Toyo's? I drive kinda rough on them sometimes, but only once a week maybe.
