Has anyone heard of like getting say an 18 inch wheel in the rear and a 17 in the front? Maybe something like a 18x10 in the rear and a 17x8 in the front or something like that?

The reason i ask this is because the wheels i'm considering i think look too small in the rear when 17 inch and too big in the front with an 18inch. So i'd like to get a 17 in the front and an 18 in the rear to fill out the wheel wells a bit more.

I've heard of this done before i was just wondering what you guys think and also if youve ever seen or heard of it done on an SN95.

I think it'd look cool and also add maybe a slight rake effect which i like.

Sweet! Cragers are so cool looking on the old school muskle. :santa_grin:

Do you think this would be ok for a 95GT? Like i mean i cant see why it would cause a problem but i've just never heard of it before on a SN95, shit on a mustang at all really.

I'd like to do it, but i just wanna know if anyone has first of all ever heard of this on our year cars and if its some strange no-no of some sort?

I dont see why it would be? :dunno:

I say go with 18's all around, or 17's all around. I dont like the look, if you look at it with your "periphrial vision" it looks kinda funny looking.

its very common...

It looks great on the new edge SN95s...

but IMPO... it just doesn't look too good on our SN95s...

Instead of buying an 18' rear... put a meatier tire out back and lower it up front a tit bit more...

This is what I plan on doing for the same reasons posted. I've always like the staggered/racey look and I will be doing it on my car. One thing to think about is that the abs light will come on but if that doesn't bother you, then you're ok.
