Wheel idea


Hey guys, im looking for some help -

recently i was looking into buying new wheels and tires for my car, but i came across afew bumps. I'd like to give the car a retro "nosedive" look by adding smaller wheels/rims in the front, than in the back. would this cause any problems? and, aside from buying all the same size, how could these problems be avoided?

this is the current setup i'm thinking -

Front - Ford racing 17" Bullitt rims with Nitto 255/40/17's. that would give me an overall 25 inch diameter.
Back - Ford Racing 20" Bullitt rims with BFG 255/35/20's. Giving me an overall 27'' diameter.

in total the difference beween the front and back wheels (diameter of overall wheels included) would be exactly 2 inches. witch means the nosedive would be 2 inches

thanks for your help guys let me know what you think.

That big of a size difference would look stupid IMO. If it were my car I would do the same size all around. The biggest I would go though is 17s front 18s rear.
