A few questions for you guys. I talked to the guy selling these rims about ordering 7" rims for the front and 8" for the back and he was cool with doing that for no additional charge, and when I looked closer at his ebay add it already said you could missmatch sizes at no additional cost. My question is should I do this or just 8" rims all the way around? My tire sizes are, backs - 285 70 R15 - Fronts are 255 70 R15. Is a 7" rim to narrow for my front tire size or will it be o.k.

Also he said to just order from him by email using paypal instead of using ebay. Should I do that or does going through ebay give me more protection than just paypal. Does it save him alot of money to skip ebay? If so, should I ask for a price cut? The rims are $449 and for shipping to Utah he charges $81. Thats a $530 total. I guess I could figure how much it would save him on the $449 and split the difference with him. Does any one know how much ebay charges the seller?
