Default cheap place for steeda wheels and tire q's

I wanna get the Steeda ultralite II silver finish(18x9.5)..where's a cheap place to get them and also in the steeda site they say you can run 285's on the front and 295's on the rear. I'm thinking of going 275 35 18 all around. how would that look? thanks for any help on this.

I have 275s all the way around on my 17s and it looks sweet... I would prefer to shrink the fronts, though. Maybe 245s front and 275s rear.

If you drop "ultralite AND steeda" into your choice of search engine you'll get a bunch of returns, have to sift thru them for best price.

Speaking of tires, would it be safe to put 275's on my stock wheels 17x8?

And speaking of wheels, would it be ok to run 18x9 and 18x10 on my car or would I need spacers?

Tire Rack shows this as "optional" -
Rear Optional 17" 265/40-17, Front Optional 17" 245/45-17
275's sound big on the stock wheels

again, using the TireRack guide, you can see various wheels on a 98; they do show 18x8/9 and 18x10s as optional.
