wheel question
if I get 18 inch rear wheels would it be ok, or I hear some problems running 18's on the back?

nope just make sure the front tires are smaller then the rears. I run 18x11 and 18x13 with 295/335 combo...

You need to stay VERY close to the original size difference between Front and Rear.
Size difference means diameter and it will vary with wheel size/tire aspect ratio and tire width.
It's possible to have nearly equal tire diameters in 16" to 22" wheels.

Running that combination will result in massive understeer (push). A ratio that works is the 315x30x18 F and the 345x30x18 R. F is on a 11"and R is on a 12" wheel.
