Default RIM SIZE QUESTION want 9.5"ALL AROUND

hey guys, i'll probably get hammered for posting this, but i wanted to know if it was possible to put 18" 9.5" all the way around. i know our cars fit 9.5" in front and 10.5" in back, but can i put 9.5" on all wheels, so that i can rotate my tires or do you have to have a smaller wheel in front. thanks.;

9.5 all around is fine...But you might want to choose the right tire sizes if you have vdc

You won't be able to rotate your tires. Even if you get the same size rims, which is fine, you HAVE to have different size tires or your VDC will go crazy.

So if I have VDC I can't get same size rims and tires? I was thinking of getting Axis Reverb 18x8.5 with 245-45-18 or 245-40-18 tires? Or should I stick with stock with 225-45-18 front and 245-45-18 rear?
