What size wheels should I get? I'm thinking 18's in the front and 19's in the back, and with the width I wanted 9.5 for the front and for the rear I want the big beefy look like vipers have but I don't know what the maximum width is for the rear. Can someone help me out, suggestions, pros and cons? Thanks
:smash: Go to the "Search" section and type in "Wheel or Tire sizes" & click on "archive" then start reading what people have experienced. When you get to 11" & 12" (width) wheels you may have to do some "tubbing" for inside clearence (thats cutting away the wheel wells +). Doing this for a look is just not worth it, because handling isn't improved at that point. :cheers:

I go along with C54MREW; stray too far from the stock sizes and you open can after can of worms.
Me...I'd stick with the stock diameters, maybe go up 1/2 inch or even an inch on rim width, no more. A nice custom wheel is going to look good even without going larger.
Good luck and post some pictures after you've made your decision/purchase.
the 18/19 with the 9.5's in the front and 11's on the rear are one of the very best combos that fit the car the best. Run 265/35/18's and 295/35/19's rear... anything larger than that front or rear sticks out a little and does not look as good as the setup I am talking about. I have had 4 diff tire and wheel setups on my car (I still have 3 of them) and for the street and overall look for the car the 18/19 is the best...
