Default Aftermarket Alloy Minefield

Been looking over the forums and i have a good idea on what size to go for etc.

I will more than likely go for 18's, bearing in mind that the profiles front/rear are different, how easy is it to find wheels that can accomodate the 2 profiles.

If i buy 18x8's, will these or any wheels if i went for 17's, be able to accomodate the 2 different widths required, for instance Fronts 225/40/ZR18, Rears 255/35/ZR18s??.

I take it only certain widths on size 18" wheels can accomodate the 2 required profiles??

I hope this makes sense as i do not want to spend

Wow!

Have you checked out the Tyre and Wheel forum?

If you click on the "Silverstone" in my sig you will see what an S looks like with 17" SSR-GT1's

Have a look at http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/Whe...00&autoModClar= for an idea of range and sizes (but cross-check in wheel and tyre forum).

EDIT: Mine were originally sourced from "Motorsport Wheels" - sorry, no more information than that.
