Default Rim Questions

I'm getting ready to go from 17's to 18's.
My 1996 GT is Black on Black. I m thinking of the "hyper coated" Saleens. Has anyone seen these rims on a black GT?
Also, should i put 18 x 10's on back and 18 x 9's on front?
And lastly, what tires should i use? thanks guys.

i would actually get chrome saleens...it would look much better than hyper

and yes for a GT i would get 18x9's and 18x10's with some big tires in back

im not a pro but for the 18x9's i would get 265/35/18 and for the back i would get either 295/35/18 or some nice 315/30/18...nice meat in back

but then again if you get bigger tires in back they are most likely drag radials which do cost more

i am gettin 18x9 chrome saleens all the way around with 265/35/18 pirelli pzero m+s tires because i want to be able to rotate my wheels so they last longer...im only 17 i cant afford drag radials or anything
