View Full Version : 17/18" Wheel Combo?

I'm tossing around the idea of running a 18" wheel on back (mainly to get a ~26.5" tall tire). Anyone think that this looks odd with a 17" up front? Anyone running 17/18 combo? Pics?

I went 17/18, but the front tire is a bit too short. 275/40/18 and 225/40/17. I think a 245 or 255 would look better. But the diff in 17 and 18 is hardly noticable.

Boze "Mesh". they are a fake three piece. I should have gone with Forgelines...my next set will be. Yeah, I nailed the rear size perfect. I'm gonna try a wider taller tire up front.

18's all around will be a nicer looking set up, in my opinion. You will be much happier in the long run. Tire sizes are readily available too, so no problem there. What wheels are you considering?
