Default wheels

ok so i got a couple questions.... first of all i need some new wheels for my '96 GT, im lookin and the Bullit style, 17'' or 18" probably, my first question is there are sets of four tires that are exactly the same size (17 x 9), and then there are sets with different sizes in front than in back (18 x 9 and 18 x 10). does this size difference in the back make a difference?

next question is that some of these wheels on ebay also come with tires, anyone know if any of these are decent rubber or are they just crap they give out with the wheels? : ... 245 45 17 Nankang NS1......Nexen 245 40 zr18 N3000..... Toyo T1R 275/35 ZR18 (fronts) and 295/35 ZR18 (rears)......Essenza EVO-Z tires. The tires are 275/40ZR-17's.

and one last quick question, anyone ever seen black chrome out on anyhting yet? i think it sounds pretty cool but im not sure how itd actually look on a vehicle...

The widths you run on the front and back (same or diff) are totally up to you. Just don't go wider on front! I've never heard of most of the brands that come with wheels on ebay. If tirerack.com carries them you can read customer reviews on em. Just do a little research before you buy some sh*tty tires.


Black chrome is good...

Id prefer to have the same width wheel and tire all around, simply for tire rotation purposes. Im a cheap bastard, so id rather just rotate the front and rear then buy whole new tires for the rear.
