I was thinkin of doing 18's all the way around, but also makin em the same front and back... just like regular cars... so I can rotate my tires... it would be cheaper in the long run... get 18 x 9's on all 4... or something..

I have 18x9.5's all around. 275/40/18's in the rear, and 265/35/18's in the front. I think they look much better than 17's in the front.
