I think they're a pretty good buy, for replicas. I think you might have a little problem with an 18X8.5 in the front, especially if your lowered.

As the others said.. It will fit fine. 8.5" in the front should rub, especially if you're not lowered. Probably best off running 225/40/18 tires.

those would fit great, and would require very minimal fender rolling if you lower it and didn't want any rubbing at all. as recommended, don't go any wider than a 225 tire up front. 245 and 255 are generally safe for the rear.

do you think i should go with a wider tire in the back? I just ordered them by the way!

i would run 225 in the rear as well with a spacer just so you can rotate them later. plus wider tires looks kinda funny if youre not staggered.
