Default Need Help With Tires/ Rim Size

ok so i ordered 18 x 10.5 / 17 9.5 rims. i got an email from the place saying they dont have the front two in stock, so he offered me 18 x 9.5 in the front for no charge. i just wanted to kno if that would be too big for the front and what size tires do i have to go with in the front?

The pic in my sig is with 18s front and rear. You can judge for yourself whether or not they look too big. As for a tire for an 18x9.5 rim, you could use a 275/35/18 with no problems (that's what I run on my 18x10 rims up front).

275/35ZR18 tire would be perfect.

The 245/40ZR18 would fit up front, and the 275/35ZR18 would fit in back. They are the smallest recommended tires for those wheels.

If you are on a budget, Kumho, Ecsta MX are decent for the price.

The 275/35ZR18 are $185 ea, the 295/35ZR18 are $215 ea and the 245/40ZR18 are $116 ea from Tire Rack . . . Just FYI.
