I'm looking at some new wheels for my car and am wanting to put either 18x8.5 on the front and 18x9.5 on the rear or 18x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 on the rear. Which would be the best choice between these? Also, what is the wheel offset for these combinations?

if you can do it i'de say to go 18x9 and 18x10.5 becuase i doubt there would be any clearance issues 9.5 will fit up front but if you back spacing aint correct you'll rub at full lock

Just heard that that the S197 Wheels, CAN, fit our Mach1's (SN95). Is this correct?? Tell me so!! I have a set of 05 Black Bullitts, and would love to make them work. Offset issue been corrected with spacer,maybe????

I have 17x9 in front and 17x10.5 in back... I was told i could go 17x13 in the back without altering the wheel well, but on every hard bump i'd rub... when I need to get new back tires, which should be in about another year or 2, i'm going to get 300 width tires, b/c 275 is'nt wide enough for the 17x10.5 wheels...
