I really need some up with selecting the correct wheel & tire size. I have the hard part over with, by knowing which wheels I would like, so here is what I want...I am getting these wheels http://www.tiresdelivered.com/prodde...767565&cat=371 and I want them to look right without lowering the car. I just don't want a big gap, but yet I don't really want to be sitting eye to eye with a ford explorer either. I have a 2006 V6, and I guess I have 16's (factory) right now. So what do you think?

Those are really nice rims get them in 18's there perfect not to big and not to small, its a perfect fit!

So do I get 18x10 or 18x9 and what is offset? Am I missing something really important? I work on computers and know absolutly nothing about cars except what I think looks good and sounds good. Otherwise I am a total dumbass...

Do you want the same size tire all around or it doesnt matter?

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

If you want the same size wheel all around go with the 18x9s which it looks like they dont come in that size only 18x8.5 and 18x10 so I guess you would have to choose which ones you want but if you want a little stance you can go with the 18x8.5 in front and 18x10's in the back which would look pretty cool!

Thanks ricanpassion and justin, I think I'll go with the 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10 in the rear, only thing is I won't be able to rotate the tires... I'm not sure 18x10's would fit all the way around.

Justin_R

Yeah thats the only problem, but im pretty sure the 18x10 should fit all around! And for tires I think the best size would probably be 255/45/18 or 245/40/18.

245 fronts. 285 rears.

dont do 18 x 10's all the way around..... it wont look right.... I have 20 x 8.5 in the front and 20 x 10 in the rear... and the rear tires stick out alittle bit.... with the stagger.... it looks awesome... not sure it would look right with the 10" all the way around.... it would definately fit but dunno how it would look.... however... i guess if you went with like 245 or 255/18's it might be ok.... i have 275's on the rear... i would look around for someone who actually has 18 x 10's all the way around and see if it looks alright first....
