Need help picking Wheel Size and offset please

Buying some wheels soon and need a little help about picking them out. Well the first size I want to go with in the front are 18X8 9-114.3 42GMM and for the back I want to go with 18X9 9-114.3 43GMM or should I go with 18X9 9-114.3 35GMM. Is there anything wrong with having these sizes on my FD? I have 94 Fd btw also. Tires size I plan to go with are Front: 235/40/18 and Back: 265/35/18.

What sizes do you people recommend? And are my rim sizes and offsets fine?

My advice, put your flame suit on and tell us what wheels they are

Reason being, you have to include caliper clearance in deciding the offset and those are rim specific.

Haha, someone else could tell he's looking at Discount Tire for wheels....

derty:

If you are set on that particular wheel, get the +43 offset fronts. The 9" wide rear at +43 is fine. Like amraam4 suggested, you should verify that they have proper caliper clearance up front, although that's less of an issue with 18" wheels.

I run 18x9 all around with a 40 offset. However, my wheels have a bowed out spoke pattern to help with caliper clearance. Not saying what you have won't work, just letting you know.
