Urgent Questions before I buy.
I have a question, before I buy the "Torque R" wheels from subydude.com
1- Should I get all 4 rims the same width with larger rear tires or should I get larger rear wheel size altogether.
Thanks to anyone who contributes with some help

It depends on your preference. You have three choices:
1. Same size wheels and tires (makes rotation easy)
2. Same size wheels, different size tires
3. Different size wheels, different size tires

Ok am I getting a good deal

Torque R 18x9.5 28mm offset
With Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Tires (275 40 18 "REAR") (255 40 18 "FRONT")
FOR $1890
P.S: Is this a good wheel width and thickness, I dont plan on lowering my car for a while.

In all honesty the system is looking for a staggered difference. Some people experience problems running the same size tire front and rear, and some do not. I've never had a problem myself.
Ok last question, since the thickness is "40". And currently I am not dropped, will the gap look to big. and if later on I want to drop do I still have room with that thickness tire.
The thickness number is a % ratio of the tire’s width.
So the “40” is actually 40% of 275mm, which is 110mm of tire wall.
Compare that to 45% of 245mm (OEM size), that’s 110.25mm of tire wall.
In the front:
40% of 255mm = 101mm
45% of 225mm = 102mm
That’s pretty darn close !

I just talked to tirerack and the infromed me that the 255/40/18 may cause problems, and that the widest I could go was 245/40/18. Without causin any problems to the speedo.
