Is this the best way to go?

I'm about to buy a set of Intro wheels and Nitto tires in a staggered setup.

Will Nitto 555s 285/35/18 in back and 245/40/18 up front look and behave ok and be fine with the ABS?

What sized wheel will make the tires look bulge out to look pretty beefy in front and back?

What offsets would put the wheels flush with the fenders, without any modification?

as far as tire size in the back to make it look aggresive. .. . 315 is pretty tough looking. Nitto 285's will look cool but definitly not really tough.

285 on the back looks just fine but 315 looks alot tougher!(more expensive too) I've seen 245 on a 9.5 wheel n it looked like **** cuz tire was thinner than wheel so I changed it to 275(depends on wheel width). come to think of it, I'm not sure but I think they don't make 315 for 18s.

285's are for Mustang's....

315's in the rear, but I don't know how wide the rear rims are.

I can get the wheels in 7 8 9 or 10 inches. But the cost of 315s is a bit much

Good quote

. I have heard Nitto's can run on a 9 1/2 inch rim. cause they are not as wide as other 315's.

[quote=Grifter;7940787]You can fit a 295 on that 10" wide rim. 315's aren't that expensive considering how big they are. Just for an example you can get 315 Nitto's for $167 a piece.

Where? not anywhere I've seen. Anyway I want to run KDWs I'll keep the nittos on my stock 16s.
