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?

white rims are a bad idea, there is only one car i have seen that they looked good on, it was a blue viper with pc ccws,also im not crazy about the idea of the caddy pearl white on these cars, i have seen one with that paint and it didnt do much for me, its your ride though man, do what you want

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.
