I saw some pics several months ago of F-bodies having 17's in front and 18's in the back. It looked pretty killer but now I can't find any on here. If anyone can help me out here by looking into their archive or maybe help directing me into a thread...that would be dope. Sideshots would be the most helpful.
I don't know what it is but It's bugging me of how the wheels look to the fender gap and how the wheels look as it tries to blend to the body. Maybe I need to lower the Z or maybe I need 18's. I was thinking what 18x10's would look in the rear and keep my 17x9.5 in the front. Tell me what you recommend. Lower it or 18's? Pictures are in Website link and go to page 9.
Thanks
I saw this thread but It didnt help "Pics of Zo6 17 front/18 rear combo on lt1 bird?" Please dont refer me to that thread or Brents F's appearance page please

Actually all those pics were 17's and the Y2k wheels were 17's in front and 18's in rear but you can't see it that well. Anyhow..I guess I'll keep looking. l

does the car/car's computer get thrown off with two different size wheels because the computer thinks the wheels are moving at different speeds?

Thanks for the links....can't even notice their 18's in the back. So I guess they look alright when you do that combo. I'm trying to solve the tire profile issue before I do this. I don't want a bigger tire in front.

That the exact look I was trying to find. I have a convertible 1995 Z , how much did you pay for those wheels if you don't mind me asking and where can I get a set?
Thanks,

BadRag - Nevermind...I got the links to work. I don't have I.E, instead I have Mozilla Browser and I noticed it doesn't load links correctly.
