17x9 and 18x10

[94GTPilot]

So does anyone on here have this combo on their car? Or any opinions on how it would look? I am going to buy chrome bullitts in this combo....

Most people here will have either 17x9's & 17x10.5's or 18x9's & 18x10's. I don't know of anyone that has mix matched them like that off the top of my head. But I think it would still look good.

yeah people have done it, but it dosnt look great to be honist

 

[94GTPilot]

Why doesn't it look good? I figured it would give the car a larger stance in the rear, maybe making it look fast standing still?? Any other ideas/opinions?

I say go for it! vette's and viper's have bigger wheels in the back, and they look awesome. I think it would look good on a Stang too...

I would have done that if I could have found a wheel package that had that. But tires are expensive for 18's and I dont think I could afford that. I think it would look cool.

yeah i know vipers and vettes have it, i though it would have looked good too. someone has done it and i'll try to dig up the pics, but it really dosnt look right. im assuming you're talking about bullits, because that's what im talking about.. they just look much different in the two sizes

I think 19 and 18 would look alright....I dunno about 17 and 18 though.

 

[pleasehelp]

I think you would had to get the right size tires to get the same size side wall. It would look weird if the front had too much side wall than the rears. I'd thought about this too. Maybe we should search some vette and viper wheel/tire stats.

Pilot, you can't do this! That's my idea! lol, I want to do the exact same thing cause of the stance it'll have. I love the "forward lean" I presently have on my stance and with that wheel combo, it'll look even more aggressive.

 

[95Vert]

My wheels sizes would be different though. I'd try to go as thin as possible up front, like a 17x8 or 17x7.5 if possible with some 255 or 245 40s, and with a 18x9 with 295 35s out back. I'm not a big fan of the 315 tire out back. It looks waaaayyyy too big for our cars, especially if you don't have a bulky body kit. I really haven't paid too much attention to Paul's(punishers) but I think his 315 look good cause of his bulky body kit.

95Vert: I totally agree with you, and would LOVE to have that forward, aggressive lean.. And what's the worst that can happen? I don't like them, sell them, and try again! lol... Were you looking at the bullitts too??

 

[markzeronine]

well even though i think it's a bad idea, because i have even thought about it...

but i'll still help out. my dad's old C5 vette had:

17x8.5 with 245-45-17
and
18x9.5 with 275-40-18

it looks good because they are designed to go with eachother... but good luck

 

[95Vert]

Pilot, no, I don't like the bullits. I do want a deep dish wheel but can't find one that I like or isn't insanely priced. I love my 99cobra wheels but they don't make them in 18s. If anyone would make them, I would go with 99 cobra wheels. If not, I'll probably get some saleens or some konig wheels.

 

[sonicblue87lx]

my buddy has that set up on his car. I sold him my 18s and he had 17s so he just did that and it looks pretty good to be honest. at first i wasnt sure about it but it looks good

 

[pleasehelp]

Pics??

 

[95Vert]

yeah, post pics sonic! I have never seen that combo on a stang.
