18x9 in Front, 18x10 in the back,...

In the front with a 18x9 you can go up to a 285/35/18 tire and in the back you can go up to a 315/30/18 tire.

A nice size that is easy to find tires for is 245/40/18's in the front these are a direct plus 1 for stock tires(9" wide on average).

The rears look nice with a easy size to find a 295/35/18 these run on average about 12" wide.

Next to each other there is about 1~1 1/2 difference in width.But both have the same over all diameter ..
