18x11 on fbody

I have seen numerous posts on rims and sizes and have done alot of research. I would like to get some feedback on 18" rims on a 3rd gen. I would like to fit some 18x11's on back and 18x10's up front. I like the AR Torque II's and I also like the Boyd Smoothie II's. Does anyone know if either rim comes in a 18x11? Also I know they come polished but have heard you can get them in chrome for additional cost. Anyone have any info on that?

I have also looked into 19" rims but have found there are not many tire manufacturers that make 19" tires in alot of sizes.

Anyone with any pics of their ride on 18's or 19's would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ive seen 17X11s but never 18s.. i know sometimes on a 17 u have to roll the lip of the fender for fast cornering or going up a steep thing on an angle.. just the tire can tap the fender... this would be worse on a 18? no?

You can go all the way up to 19" without ever changing the original overall wheel and tire diameter. You just have to find the right tires with a real low sidewall. So yes you can do it and they would fit exactly the same as a 17x11 as long as you have the right tires.
