Size wheels?

Looking to pickup some wheels pretty soon and am wondering what kind of setup I should run.

I can run 18x8 / 18x10 or 18x9 / 18x10 setups. Is there any pros/cons with running either setup other than the 18x8's being cheaper than the 18x9's?

Also, what tire setup should I have for each setup? Offsets should be for the FD and I'll have coilovers by then.

Pros and cons? The 18x8/18x10 setup will plow like a tractor. Go with 18x9. And I've given you tire sizes about five times already, just dig up one of your older wheel threads you started.

Leave your stock wheels. They look good and work good. Spend money on making it fast or reliable!

I bought the car with all the reliable and all of the bolt ons (minus midpipe) so that's already done with. Not going to be going single anytime soon.

Just listen when spoken to.

Looking at other cars is also not a bad idea.

Look at Amemiya sized wheels for what they use on Touge comps for BMI/Hot Version vs what they use in competition vs what mustangs roll.
