17s with 18s

njstang · June 24th, 2008, 10:46 PM

Hey I'm thinking about doing a 18 inch dd in the rear with a 17 up front, any opinions? Or any pics? Thanks

energiesource · June 24th, 2008, 10:49 PM

18's will fit fine, and i dont think at that small of a rim the 'bigger in the back' effect will be the same
it will probably just look like you have spares on the front and rims on the back

i went ahead and got 17 by 10.5 for the rear of mine just got them in today but i did think about the 18s in the rear i think it would probably look pretty good

i think that mustangs are not much of a wedge, it looks freaking amazing on vettes, especially the new ones, but it doesnt do the same thing for me on mustangs

+1. I think the idea is cool. and it looks cool on the mustang. it doesn't look bad or anything but it sure doesn't Stand out as it does on vetts and vipers etc.

I have thought about doing this too. I have one of Sean Hylands books and the do it alot for streetcross mustangs

mustangmanic · June 24th, 2008, 11:31 PM

I actually think that would b freakin BADASSSSSS!

I would do it...

the real shocker · June 24th, 2008, 11:39 PM

personally, i'm not a big fan of it, BUT.... its your car, if you like the way it looks... DO IT!

if it were me, i would slam it on some 17's with deep dish on back or go 18's all around

i was just gunna get dd 17s but i dont want them to look like dounuts once i lower the car, idk well have to see lol thanks guys

whtpny · June 25th, 2008, 01:54 AM

ive seen it in person.. while it looks okay.. you have to be careful on what tire sizes you order or it will look goofy.. i.e... more tire in the front than in the rear.. im gonna go 17x9/10.5

Abe02GT · June 25th, 2008, 10:07 AM

I just dropped my stang with H&R SS springs with black 17x9 and 17X10.5 dd fr500's and it looks freakin sick now. 17's look bigger when the car is lowered. But you cant go wrong with 18's either. Im not a fan of 17/18 combos. To each his own tho.

mustangmanic · June 25th, 2008, 10:51 AM

I have 265/30/18 in the front and 295/35/18 in the rear... it gives it that sorta looks that it's ready to rumble lol... more sidewall on the rear actually looks kinda badass imo

03_StangGuy · June 25th, 2008, 10:53 AM

i have 17x8 up front and 18x10 in the back youll never know the difference. Tires for 18" rims do run more expensive though, like a $100 more tire

MATT02GT · June 25th, 2008, 10:56 AM

I run that combo and love the look, its not a huge difference but it gives it just a nice lil touch in the looks department

I was thinking of doing the exact same rims and sizes on mine. Do you have a pic of that man?
