What sixe wheels do you have now? If you have 17's just buy some matching deep dish one's from American Muscle and throw some 305/35/17's on them for the back and keep the fronts stock. I think they only have Bullitt styles like that which are the same as stock. If you have 5 stars, get a whole new set, but whatever you do don't get chrome ones off ebay as they are only plated and will pit and peel after 2 months! Get Polished Aluminum. They are lighter and they are quality. Painted are okay also. Just not chrome! Stick with 17" as they are cheaper for tires and better ride comfort since they have more rubber around the wheel for absorbsion. I went from 17-18" and the ride is terrible!

just so you know the size tire that fits best for the 10.5 wheels is the 315/35 17 but the 305 will fit... and IMO stay with 17's i dont like the way 18's look in the front with a really small tire.. looks wierd to me... but that is just me
