if i want to run staggered wheels 18x10.5 in the rear and 18x9.5 in front, what tire sizes should i get to keep performance and gas mileage

I run 295-45-18 on 10s in back and 255-45-18 on 9s in front. Any particular reason you're going for that extra 1/2"?

I don't think I have come accross anyone with 10.5" in the rear. everyone tends to stay with the 10" and put a 295 on the rear. I am running 20 s on a lowered 07 and had to use a 275 because the razors don't come in a 10" but if you are going to drive the car everyday I wouldn't go with something bigger than that 295, Unless you car is running about a 1000hp LOL No seriously the 275 or 295 work really well from everyone I have talked to, that is the normal application even for supercharged vehicles.

A buddy of mine runs that setup with the FR500's 10.5" rear.
Looks great.
