Default 265/35/18

Hey
I just bought an f-body and it has 265/35/18 all around. I need to replace the tires and was thinking that they should be a staggered fitment. What would be an appropriate size for the front. Also i plan on painting the car the Cadillac pearl/metallic white. i wanted to paint the rims the same colour. i was thinking of painting the dish the white and leaving the spokes(there five spoke)the aluminum colour. Whatchas think?

So they're two-piece custom? What width are the wheels? I might be able to tell you sizes then. And white paint is good for two things, luxury cars, and work vehicles.

White rims just sounds like a bad idea. Never seen this size tire. What size are your wheels?

Sounds like you need to do some more research man! There's plenty-o stickies on this site alone. But, It really depends on if you want to go stock size or something beefier. It also depends on your budget. Going beyond the 245- can get a little pricey, especially the larger diameter wheel. And btw, same color wheels is lame man, only imports can really get away with it. Furthest I'd go is a same color lip, like I'm running now.
