Question About wheels?

Would there be any issues with running 17 inch wheels on the front and 18's on the rear?

I have 17 inch chrome bullits on the front and I want to go with 18 inch deep dish on the rear.

Rich-

I believe you're gonna get some technical responses that say "NO, you can't do it- it will screw up the ABS" or "mess with the suspension geometry" but in reality there are people doing it with no problems. I've done it for a hundred miles or so at a time, except with 18" fronts and 17" rears when driving to the track.

Well if I run a 255/50-17 in front and a 255/45-18 in the rear the size will be the same. Would this just look wierd?

Just buy the 18" racelines and call it a day. Get the Sony Chase credit card and get $100 back on your first purchase of $299 or more and get 10,000 sony points if you rack up $500+!! It is costing you money NOT to buy the new wheels and tires!!
