18x10.5 in back and 17x9 in front? Pics?

Mustang46 · December 3rd, 2011, 10:50 AM

I don't think that I have ever really anylized someones wheels if they were different sizes. I don't think it would look bad but I don't know how noticeable it would be either. Just something to think about is the stance of your car with the bigger wheels and/or tires. If it's not done right, it will probably look retarded, so I would definately do some research. Good Luck!

yeah I was planning on going with 18x10.5 in back and 18.9 in front I was just curious if anyone had seen 17s with 18s in back haha thought it might look a little more aggressive.

Mustang46 · December 3rd, 2011, 11:06 AM

yeah, if the tire height isn't right, it will probably look goofy... But that just my opinion. lol

you'll mess up your ABS if the overall diameters are not very similar. Other than that , many high performance cars including vettes have different front/rear wheel sizes and look good.

TheBuild · December 3rd, 2011, 01:26 PM

mess up the abs? would a tune fix that?

mrsinister2424 · December 3rd, 2011, 01:26 PM

There's a guy with a electric green(maybe?) gt that has 17's and 18's. Doesn't really matter much. A DD wheel in the back looks bigger than a regular same size wheel in the front. Most people wouldn't even be able to point a size difference out between a 17 and an 18... that is unless you post it here

I found these. The text with the pics is not mine, I just figured you could use the info.

number1gt · December 3rd, 2011, 01:49 PM

I love see those fat a$$ tires out back!

04MidnightGT · December 3rd, 2011, 02:06 PM

I guess it depends on the rims and the car... I'll stick to 18's all around because my dd's in the rear makes the fronts look smaller already.

not noticeable @ all, still a great looking car

MATT02GT · December 3rd, 2011, 03:07 PM

I run 18x10 rears and stock 17x9's in the front. The abs light did come one but I had it fixed when I got my tune.

Cabikejumper · December 3rd, 2011, 03:12 PM

I've got 17x9f and 18x9 rear. No abs.

Shaun03GT · December 3rd, 2011, 03:17 PM

Cobra wheels don't look right with 17 and 18". I think skinny spoked wheels would look good. Like saleens or fr500's

TheBuild · December 3rd, 2011, 03:53 PM

allright thanks. And im going to do it with the xxr 526s now if only I could find a set of nitto 555s to fit D:

Shaun03GT · December 3rd, 2011, 04:02 PM

Those xxrs will look good. I like those. I wish they made a Chrome instead of black and black chrome. I would definitley buy em
