17'' fronts/18'' rears come in

[tomustang]

Tom: a few questions if i may...

1). what size tires are you running front & back? the rear tires look thinner...

2). ...did u do that to minimize the overall diameter difference between the two?

3). how much drop is that and is it the same front and back?

thanks...looks awesome. im definitely doing this.

I had SVT rims in the front temperary because I was waiting for a new rim to come in the mail. If you notice the outside diameter for the front and back are about the same, The front's are stock 245's (17's) and the rears are 285's (18's)

The drop is by sportlines, never had a sag problem. it's about a 2in drop, maybe 1.8 in the back

I never had a problem with 17's in the front, 18's in the back (ABS)

Well if you had an accident and cracked the rim would you drive on the doughnut??

i have 18 rear 17 front ..
bif difference the between 17 all around and 18 all around
combination is good...18's give more stable ride , tame take off more control.
front 17 more responsive steering, lighter feel on the steering wheel..you feel both yes stagger works here..only con is no tire rotation, but just check wear. get ultimate alignment, not from some pimply face kid, get an experience tire rotation dude.
