different size wheels


I was looking on lowering the front of my car to have a little bit of the muscle car tilt to it but my friend told me to just get larger wheels in the back and that it would improve my handling. what are your thoughts and opinions (Pros and Cons)

it looks good but you can rotate your tires.

nah i think the "tilt" looks a little redneckish IMO. go with a stagger fitted set of 18's or 17's like 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back and an eibach pro-kit to lower it a little.

wavebye has the right idea! narrow tires up front, wide tires in the back, and a set of eibach pro springs!

I would not go for the "tilted" look on the SN95...You can get away with it on the 60's, 70's and a few 80's cars...Lower the whole car and put some fat tires in the rear...
