Wheel/Tire Combination for my E55

Hey guys,

I just bought myself an E55! So happy! My first mod will be wheels. I am thinking on buying some Forgestars for my baby, and need some advise regarding the size tires.

I wan to install Deep concave F14's:

18x10 up front
18x11 in the back

I need to know, what size tires to put. Also, 18x10 up front isn't too wide, right? Also, which offset to go with for both front and back?

Thanks

10 wide up front in 18" would be something I am concerned about , fitment wise , I would test fit that particular rim first , rears should be OK

Thanks man! The thing is that the deep concave f14's are only available in 10 wide minimum...also I won't be able to test since I am ordering online...

I might just not bother and get regular f14's then! Do you think this set up would work nicely:

18x9 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. 9.5 not too narrow for rears? What about offset?
