Default what do you think

I was thinking about getting these rims maybe
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...p&showRear=yes



Was wondering if anyone has a set and likes them, I was going to match them maybe with 255/40/18 all around on an 03 touring. oh yeah, 9.5 all around

just found out that a 265/40/18 is almost the same as a factory 245/45/18

heard that people have been using the same size all around and like it, making the car more neutral.

do you think 265 is too big or stay with a 255 all around

for the rear on those wheels, you can go 275/40 comfortably and not have issues. this is with a 245/40 front. those look decent but i sort of like the back ones with the machined lip (no 9.5 though). but weight wise those suckers are heavier than stock.

I like the looks of them

If you can fit the 265's front and rear that would be fine. When I was playing with my Nismo LMGT4's I was able to fit 275/40-18 front & rear with the 9.5 +30 wheel.

I believe that Kazera makes a nearly identical wheel, but it comes about an 1" wider for the rears, basically the same price as well.

If a 23 pound plus wheel is OK with you, then they are fine.

Generally weight and price and inversely related. Price goes up - weight goes does.
