18's all the way around, no wheel spacers. I might use small spacers out back for appearance and to help clear the bumpstops.

the red car needs wider tires i think the blocky look looks the best where the tires are even with the wheel and there not sloping in

I like both looks actually depending on the width and depth of the rims. My cars a daily driver, and what was important to me was solid steering and tires that could deal with lot's of wet weather driving. The car won't be racing around a track. I'd rather have a tire that slopes on a rim with depth than a blocky tire on a skinny looking rim. I don't like the way a 305 30 nitto mounted on the frt looks but I do like the 295 30's and the 285 35's.


Sloping tire on a rim with depth.



Blocky tire on skinny looking rims. CCW's are some of my fav looking rims but take away the lip and it's just not the same.



This was 295's frt and rears which I liked but I wanted a smaller tire in the frt.



A nice setup might be this 295 firestone up frt with a 315 out back. I like the quality of the firestone and it's quiet.

on 10.5" wide wheels all the way around? That's wild, the tires all look to have the same amount of "sloping" on the sidewalls...
