Is there any problem putting 10" Rondell #58's on the rear with the 8" in the front? I found them for $500+shipping...

No, the 10" will be fine with a 15 mm offset. I have them on my car. I'd advise a 255/40 tire, looks great.

ohhh ok, so gonna pick up 2 of the 17" x 10" i get ya. I have 2 18" x 8" and 2 18" x 9". I wouldn't mind upgrading to 18" x 10". Not sure if I would have to upgrade the tires in the rear as well, they are 265's.

the 255's on 10in work and look great, I know at least one, maybe two others with 255's on 10in, and haven't heard any problems.

They will fit fine however you'll loose some of your car's handling prowess. The easily controlled rear drift will turn into- "grip, grip, grip.... OVERSTEER!"

However if you don't track you car then it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Why would i want to do it then? Handling is something i only want to improve , not compromise at all. If this is the case then i don't want any part of it , however it make look.Thanks, you may have just saved me $500 +

No problem, It wouldn't be the type of thing that 90% of people would even notice though. Probably only if you were tracking you car. Mostly you might just get a tad more understeer in daily hard driving.
