Default new rims soon

im getting these bad boys for my bday:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...18x9-9410.html

i am getting them with the nittos, the lug nuts, the tpms sensors, and the tpms reset tool
anything else im going to need for this? or am i pretty much set?
and what do yall think about getting the rears bigger? is that just a waste of money and added weight since im not putting down much hp?

+1 on looking badass

I'd get the rears a little bigger (maybe 275). I don't think it will make that much of a difference weight wise

ok just looked at the tire sizes and to answer my own question yes they are 10 inches lol
im seriously considering it since itll be only an extra 80 bucks and will look sick
will i need anything extra for the wider rims tho? and should i be worried if i plan on dropping the car later?

I want to get the chrome ones myself. From what I gather lowering the car with wider tires can cause the rear axle to shift without an adjustable panhard...

I installed my pro kit with camber bolts yesterday and my axle didn't shift at all.

275 is for a 9 inch rim

You can run 315 on a 10 inch rim. I was running 315 with the falkins and 295 with the Nittos.

Edit.. You posted a link for a 9 inch rim... where are you getting 10 inches? Thats why alec231236 said 275.
