Default 18 inch wheels

I am thinking of going to 18 inch wheels all around. I like the look of the stock rear speedline gray wheels with the wide lip and want to know if the 10.5 wheels would fit on the front. If so what size tire would work with such a configuration.

The 18x10.5 wheels do fit in the front. Depending on the tire selection they will stick out slightly. I run 18x10.5 all around and run a 275/35/18 front tire and a 305/35/18 rear tire. This is a perfect setup to me as the fronts don't protrude too much and the rears do ever so slightly.

Thanks for the info. I was planning on staying with the 295/35-18 rears. Just wanted to get that larger lip wheel on the front.
