Default Wheels and Tire questions

So I'm deciding to go with black dd bullitts. 18x9 and 18x10. I found a few deals but was wondering what brands put out the best quality rim. I am looking at the torque thrust by American racing. Anyone know of any other high quality manufacturers who sell the dd black bullitts? I am also going with a set of Vredestein 295s for the rear and cant decide what to put in the front. I was leaning towards a 265 or maybe even a 275 in the front but I don't know if that will be too big. If I do go with a 265 for the front does anyone know how much my speedo will be off by? Any advice or suggestions would be great, thanks.

I would go with 265 for the front anything larger will stick out of the fender well. Note vredesteins are much wider than most brands so I would not put those on the front even in the 265 size. I recommend to program tire size with a tuner.

+1 ...need a tuner...most tire company's web sites will tell you the amount of revolutions per mile for each tire size...

Due to the Vredesteins being wider than other tires, what do you recommend me getting to where I won't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get my car tuned?

Our products are produced in the same plants that produce original equipment. We are the manufacture, and that along with our size is reflected in our pricing. Many forum members can attest to the quality of our wheels. The bad news is that those wheels are out until mid February.
