Default LARGEST TIRE SIZE WITHOUT IMPACTING SPEED

WHAT IS THE LARGEST I CAN GO FOR THE FRONT AND BACK?
IS IT BETTER TO GO A BIT SMALLER UPFRONT AND LARGER IN BACK?
I DONT WANT TO MESS UP THE SPEEDO, GAS MILAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
ANYONE IN TORONTO WHO KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET NICE RIMS?

What size wheels are you getting? If youre getting 18s, id go with 225/40/18 in the fronts and 255/35/18 in the rear. I wish somebody had told me that before I bought my first set of tires.

Thanks. Why do you recommend this size?

How about if I went with 17"s?

17's all depends on the offsets..
I'm going to be getting (probably) 17's soon.
17x9 +63 for the rear
17x7.5 +50 for the front

I plan on getting 255/40/17 rear and 225/45/17 front

these sizes WILL NOT change the overall tire diameter and therefore your speedo etc will work correctly.

Hope this helps
