Work Emotion CR Kai 18x8.5 Front 18x9.5 Rear....What Tires?
OK guys so I picked up some Work Emotion CR Kai.
Here are the specs:

18x8.5 +37 up front
18x9.5 +38 in the rear

I am thinking of what tire sizes to go with. I don't want to go with a crazy stretched tire. Mild stretch is a possibility but not preferred. Any suggestions?

Ok guys,

I am looking at refinishing my Work CR's in the original finish. I know the wheels are anodized, and not painted, but want to accomplish a similar finish because 1 wheel has a good amount of curbage. Anyone now of any color codes that are similar to the flat bronze finish.

What tire size did you end up going with for the 18x9.5"?
