Default Not sure which wheel size to run...

I have my mind set on RPM 505's I think, but I don't know what size to get. 18,s come to mind for diameter, filling up that wheel gap, but width concerns me. I know it probably isn't as simple as order all four the same. Can anyone give me a small rundown for diameter and with on the front and back, and what I should be looking for? Also any suggestion on mid grade tires would be much appreciated, thanks ahead of time.

The car more than likely will not be on a track with these. Just for fun, street driving in spare time.

If you're interested in RPM 505s and can even find them, (I've heard they're no longer made) I'd go with 19 x 9.5 for the front and rear.

I'm running RPM505s, 19 x 8.5 (front) & 19 x 9.5 (rear). I kinda like the staggered look. But yeah, I'm hearing they're kinda hard to come by any more, but I'm really happy how they look on my car.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the OP looking for information about RPM 505 sizing? If so, I don't see how the above comment will help..... It sure is nice to know that other companies also make wheels though

From what I've read and heard RPM no longer makes the 505 I was giving other suggestions.
