Staggering tire/wheel combo
Has anyone seen, or know someone who runs a 15" front and 17" rear tire/wheel combo? I picked up 2 torq thrust D 15x7 for pocket change and was considering running a larger rear wheel, possibly a 16 or 17? I was wondering how it would look. I may sell the 2 15s and buy 4 new larger wheels. Any info? They will be going on my 68 Firebird. thanks

I wouldn't do it. If you run big brakes the 15's won't fit. Also a 15 and 17 combo will look funny unless you have a prostreet type car where you can fit a 29" tire. Most 15's have a 25" to 26" tall tire, so you would need a 28" to 29" tall tire for the 17's and there's not many options for those heights. Just get all 15's or all 17's IMHO.

I've seen it. Looked horrible IMO.
A 2 inch stagger on an 18 and 20 looks fine, but not a 15 and 17.

my 17, 18 combo looks good. But its not that noticeable by the untrained eye.

Staggering is usually left for 18 inches and up.I believe you could pull off a 17 and 19 combo but nothing smaller

Thanks for the input. I just traded for some nice aluminum wheels that I will be installing and posting pics of soon.
