If I was dropping that kind of coin they would be at least 18x10 rear and 18x8 or 18x9 in the front

Either of those sizes will be fine on the street. A 235 size front tire with a nice meaty rear tire will look great and be a beast on the street.

Plans are to get 18x12 on the back, but need to decide on the front first. Don't know what size to get for fronts lol

Just flip a coin. If you're worried about the 18x7's being too narrow, which it sounds like you are, just get the 18x8's and run a 245 size tire.

I would say for your piece of mind, just go with the 18x8's. In all honesty though, either of those wheels would be perfectly fine for street duty.

No problem. I'm sure they'll look great. Make sure to post up pic once you get them.

A 235 or 225 on the fronts will be fine, but I'd go with the 235's. Where are the pics?
