Looking good marty moose. Hm im pretty sure they dont even make DD in front (which i dont want anyway) but im kinda confused on these. I was going to order them tonight but from the description/pictures it looks like they are all DD? But once again i was thinking they dont even make 18x9 DD in front... These are not DD in front are they? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...88873125QQrdZ1
Huh?

Yeah, man. Go 18x9 up front and 18x10 out back w/ shorter sidewall. - just cant rotate 'em.(Mine pictured above are 17x9 & 17x10.5) Or am I missing your question? [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]
Lol dont worry about it moose! Actually the tires im getting are non directional so i can switch them around a little

Dumb question but are you staggering them or same size?

you wont be able to rotate 18x9 18x10 rims, you can swap sides but that'll do very little good.. 18x10's wont fit in the front.

Staggering means that normally the fronts are skinnier than the rears, where in some fwd cars that stagger their wheels their fronts might be a bit wider.
a staggered setup just means a different sized tire setup on the front than the rears

with a staggered setup you will most likely be replacing your rears way before the front tires on your new set of wheels
