Default Thoughly confused!

Ok, I'm ready to place a wheel/tire order have talked to many people and now I'm confused on SIZE!!!! I want to NOT screw up my ABS or Active Handling but I want to go with a bigger wheel than stock for both front and back. I've talked to two different people at the tire rack and the one was real technical on the current offset of the car now with the original equipment. Who has really dug into this to make sure the car works the way it was intended to work and what size tires and wheels are you running? Any help here would be apriciated! :crazy:

Try this:
Either 18x9.5 in the front with 265/35's 18x10.5 in the rear with 295/35's
or 18x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear with the same size tires as above :yesnod: Your AH and ABS will not be effected and you will maybe lose about 1 or 2 miles per hour accuracy on your speedo (no biggie)

If you need some recommendations on where to buy the wheels and what price range you want to be in, I can help there too. :cheers:
