Tire Size Suggestion Please?
I just purchased some SportMax - 006 in Gunmetal.
http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_006.shtml
18x8.5 Front / 18x9.5 Rear
Could anyone suggest a tire size? Will it have to be 2 different sizes?

I like those, they look like BBS LM wheels. You could fit 245 tires front and rear, but still your contact patch will be different because of the different wheel size. You could always go back and try to not go staggered by going 8.5" front and rear, or maybe a 9" or 9.5" front and rear if that fits in the offset. I'm personally very opposed to staggering this car, but then again if you are only using it for a street car you may never notice the difference.
