Best tire sizes for Shelby Razors?

Im looking into getting a set of chrome 20" shelby razors and was would like to due a staggered set up. What do you all recommened as far as tire sizes go? Also does anyone know the best place to get the cheapest price on a set of these rims, preferably with tires as well? One more thing, I know some people have the 24mm razors but I cant seem to find them anywhere, anyone got a link? Whats the pros/cons of the 24 vs the 40? Thanks.

How wide are your wheels? That will ultimately determine the widest tire you canfit on there (other than physical space in the wheel well).

The 24mm will come out to the edge of the fender flare and the 40mm will be recessed a bit. I'm running 245/40 all around on my 24mm Razors and if I was to do it over again I would go with a taller tire in the back or lower the back more. The front is perfect and the additional sidewall with help protect your rims. The tires are $117ea from TreaDepot.

Here are some larger pics of mine (be sure to view them full size).
