Want to buy new rims

Ok so my old rims have some serious curb rash and are looking kind of pathetic - i want to buy victor innsbruck 18 inch rims. since i have a (semi) new set of tires on the back end of the car I wanted to buy rims that were the same - no problem - go to vicor and buy a back set of rims that fits my 265/35zr18 rims. but then the front i cannot seem to find the right rims - the tires on the front at 225/40zr18. cannot find a rim to fit that.

I see what you're attempting to do, but truth be told, you should probably let the rims dictate the tire size and not the other way around.

If you end up having to replace the fronts and sell them here or on craig's list it's not the end of the world... especially considering what you're planning to buy for new rims. Victor's aren't cheap!

the victors are a little lacking , check out theses 808 wheels in 18" . they are good quality and will run a stock tire size and they look really good .
