I'm planning on getting the chrome CTR wheels. Should I go 18x9 all around or 2* 18x19 front and 2* 18x10 back? Which is better to go with? I heard some people go with all 18x9 to be able to balance tires, is it not possible to balance with 18x10 and 18x9s? Which tire size should I go with if all 18x9 around and if I plan on 18x10s? I would like the tires to look sporty and not too big. I don't plan to lower the car so I would also like some tire that would balance the wheel gap between the car. Does anyone know a shop that has tire for cheap? When preparing to mount the tire at a shop, what do I need to know? e.g balancing, alignment , reseting the od , etc.. Thanks in advance.

Im kinda glad you asked this question, personally I was thinking of going 18x10 all the way around and running 255s on all for corners and later on wehn I wanted to I could run 285s in the back.

I was wondering the diffrence between doing 255 f and 285 r on 18x10s as opposed to 255 f with 18x9s and 285 rears on 18x10s,

You're asking alot. You don't want a tire that is too big, yet you want the wheel gap to look filled, and on top of that you don't want to lower. You are gonna have to budge on one of those to get the look you want.

You can't really balance tires properly running different sizes in the front and back. That really isn't a concern of mine, but to some people squeezing every last mile out of their tires is what they live for lol.

Look at my pics in my link below. I'm running the 18x10's and 18x9's. Is that too much rubber on the tires for you?

255 on a 10" rim is not a good idea.

thats what tire rack reccomended that why I asked

255's on a 9 inch rim is perfect, no sidewall bulge. On a 10 inch rim, the tire (depending on brand) can have a sunken look as the sidewall rises from the rim lip. Potentail for rim lip damage should you hit a pothole or come too close to a curb. Check out "bigcutomwheels.com" for a tire/wheel size graph and illustrator. Great tool and should help you make your choice a bit easier.

I'm planning to put 255/45/18 on a 18x9 in the front and I'm going 285/40/18 on an 18x10 in the rear with the CTR rims in black. Since these tires are very close to the stock height I think I shouldnt have a problem with the speedo and the ABS sys.

You could also go 18x10 all around with 275's or 285's. It depends on the look you want. Some people want staggered, some want the road racer look. It also depends on what kind of performance you want from the setup.

Thats an idea, I wonder how that would look, 275s all around, seems kinda wide for the front though.

Nope, Steeda runs the 275 all the way around on their cars.
