Staggered Rims & Non-Staggered Tires - Look Good?

I am thinking about getting a new rim, but keeping my current Coopers 2XS 275/40-18. The new rims will be a staggered setup with 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back. Will it look bad? I didn't really want to get new tires for now and just save for a new staggreed set of tires later.

Will the 275's look too big for a 9" wide rim?

Thanks,

Sean

You'll be stretching the tire onto the 10" wheel which will make it look different than the front wheel. You'll also lose some sidewall height in the process. The rear wheels will have a bit less total height than the front wheels which might look a bit funky.

Better to do it right the first time in my opinion.

I have these 275 currently on my Roush 18x10 rims and they seem fine. I currently run 18x10's on all four with the Coopers and they don't seem strectched.

that is a great looking ride. I love the roush mustangs, maybe more than a shelby. 427R is a big wish list item for me.
