Hey, Looking for some help on rims.

6DXR · May 21st, 2008, 11:49 PM

My name is Ross, I'm not new to forums, but i'm new to this one. I drive an '07 V6. I just sold my 65 coupe. I am looking to buy bullit rims and was wondering if i could get 18x9 on the front and 20x9 deep dish on the back. I'm not sure if that would work, or if it would look just plain stupid. Any advice is welcome.

yeah you can, it looks pretty good imo. I say go for it. JUST be prepared for the outrageous price of tires.

edit: i would increase the size of the back wheel to like 20x10.5 (if that is even a size lol) just if you are having a bigger back wheel make the width bigger also

Alright, thanks for the tip.

RavensChild · May 21st, 2008, 11:58 PM

give some links to what you are looking at

Definitly go for a wider tire in the back. It'll look more intimidating! haha. I think its a 20x10 though.

20's look good on the s197's in front and back... get 20's for front and rear, but wider in the back

6DXR · May 22nd, 2008, 12:04 AM

Alright, well at second glance I couldn't find non deep dish 18x9's.. so I figure 18x9 deep dish in the front and 20x10 deep in the back.?

I don't know about that.. I kinda want the aggressive stance

Ninjawafers! · May 22nd, 2008, 12:05 AM

id say 20x9 up front and 20x10.5 or so in back

Ninjawafers! · May 22nd, 2008, 12:06 AM

i dont know how that would look on the newer stangs.. the agressive stance looks good on the older muscle cars but not on newer ones imo

6DXR · May 22nd, 2008, 12:07 AM

Hmm, I'll look into that. But I like the look of the smaller up front

Thanks alot though

6DXR · May 22nd, 2008, 12:09 AM

Alright. I need some pictures to look at, but I can't find any

WhtStang00 · May 22nd, 2008, 10:45 AM

i say black or chrome saleens ftw!

crashnebula · May 22nd, 2008, 11:39 AM

just dont forget that changing the size of the tire/rim that it will throw your speedo off a little bit, not sure which way any more...i put 17s on my car and it didnt change it enough for me to notice.

Thanks alot guys

Youngin · May 22nd, 2008, 08:45 PM

lol would 18's in the front and 20's in the back even work?

6DXR · May 22nd, 2008, 09:05 PM

I don't see why not..

Dansby · May 22nd, 2008, 11:37 PM

It does. Seen it done before and in my opinion, looks sexy as all can be. Smaller wheel=bigger tire sidewall to even it out.
