Default Spiffy wheels

To celebrate my end of active service on June 9th I've decided to treat myself to a new set of wheels. What I need to know is you should be able to fit 18x9s with no problem right? And what rubber should I wrap them with?

lol well thats not the only tire size (example: 235-45-18) you can use. its a tire size ratio. 235=width 45=height from rim lip to edge of tire and 18= diameter, like what size rim ur putting it on. but it depends how low profile you want to go. i have 245-45-18 on mine. 18x9's

Wouldn't you want some thing like 265/35/18(? The stock wheels are 7" wide and the tires are 215mm, so two more inches=50mm more. The gt's wheels are 8" wide and have 235mm width tires btw.

To awnser the topic I prefer the 5 spoke designs like the roush wheels. The kazera kz-a are good example. Try tirerack.com for the tires, they have both Professional and customer reviews.
