Looking to buy some new rims and need recomendations on sizes. 18x9's up front and 18x10's in the rear.

265-35-18 front?

285-35-18 rear?

My personal preference would be to go with a wider tire on a 10" rim.

I had 295/30's on an 18x10 and it look too small for my taste....if you had the space maybe a 305/35 or 315/30.

what do you mean by the space? rubbin issues in the rear?

Yes sorry i'm used to speaking of the Cobra w/ IRS

Like i said my 02 GT fit 18x10 w/ 295/30's & Eiabch Sportlines no problems whatsoever.

I'm just not sure about the 94GT?

You should be able to fit a 10" wheel with 315s. I think Jon (HungryHippo) has 17x10.5s with 315s.

still searching for tires. A tire shop told me 18x10's would rub regardless of what size tire I put on. Is this just BS or should I go 18x9 all the way around?

Also what tire brands do you recommend? I have been looking at the sumitumo tires they sound cheap to me but I need a reputable tire.
