I just bought these same rims from American Muscle with Ford end caps.
I am still undecided about tires...brand and size...was thinking of 255/45/18's allaround but was told these rims can hold up to a 285/40/18 for a staggered look..I thought those tires are too big for 9" rim?

285 may be a bit large, but 275 i am sure would work. i had trouble finding 255 tires which is what i originally wanted. belle tire was telling me that it was a size that they didnt normally stock and taht it would be a special order size. they had the 245/40/18 size there though in the toyos i wanted to i went that way. they are just wide enough for me to fill out the wheel wells. i am looking forward to seeing them on the car!

I still have not heard back from American Muscle, so I am wondering if I gave them an incorrect email address. It would be nice to know what the deal is with my deep dish bullets. I still have not ordered tires.
I need a good season tire and wasgoing to stick with my tried and true Mich Alpine Sport A/S but at $271 a tire......hhhhhmmmmm I think I might have to look at Falkens All Seasons...scary thing though..all of the review at discount tire direct are from civic owners!!!

yah american muscle never sent me a tracking number when i ordered. I had to email them to inquire about my order. they were shipped pretty quick though. took just about a week if i remember correctly. Yah those mich. tires arent cheep, but def good. I dont know a whole lot about falkens though. but yah, just give american muscle a call or email and see if they can send you a order tracking number.
