Ok, here is what i found... Lets get some suggestions

245/45/18 FRONT (2) USA MADE
275/40/18 REAR (2) USA MADE **TIRE SIZE WILL FIT UP TO AN 11" RIM**

bfgoodrich super sport A/S



$651.64 SHIPPED TO MY DOOR

BOSS 338 18x8" CHROME in the FRONT USA MADE
and
BOSS 338 18x9.5" CHROME in the REAR USA MADE
$668 SHIPPED TO MY DOOR


Total: $1,319.64 NOT INCL the mount and balance.

Good deal? Size issues? too big? Too insane? Too good of a deal?

Maybe bump the tire size to a 255/40/18 for the front. Sounds like a good deal. I never used the BFG super sport tires but I used to have the KDW's on my previous wheels and I was not too happy with them.
