Default Question about wheels.

I know 18'9s will fit on the back but what size should i go with on the front since 18'9s would be too wide? Car is 3.8.

Wheels i would just keep the stock size up front, especially if you live in northern US with snow

i live in san diego soluckily i dont really have to worry about the weather. my rims right now are 16sand they are the perfect size width wise in the front. i just wanna get some black bullitts. do you think two 18x9s in the back and two 17x8sin the frontwould look good? i just dont want the wheels to be sticking out and i dont want them to be too far in.

You can run 18x9 in the front (Assuming it's the correct offset). The tire size you'll want is 265/36 -18.

I run 18x9's up front and 18x10's out back. Run a 265/35R18 on the front and a 295/35/R18 out back, that'll be pretty much as wide as you can go with a 10" wide rear wheel. A 285/35 will work fine, it's what I currently, the 295 is just a bit wider, and unfortunately for me, more expensive lol. Damn tires lasted me a little over a year, but around 30k miles!
