Rims rims rims rims
alrighty...
what do yall think of 17x8 (245/45/170) up front, and 17x10.5 (315/35/17) in the rear.
Im in need of new tires in the rear, the front are still good... so i figured if i could get the package deal on the back that am offers ( http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...-set-9904.html ) and two seperate 17x8's ( http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...17x8-9498.html ) and reuse the front tires, maybe i could save a little money.. Would this be a good idea? would it effect the handling? Would it look odd?
I am on a high school budget.. And yes i have checked through craigslist...

I had to the same set up on my 02 and it looked really good. I already had the 17x8's as stock but bought 2 17x10's from AM for the back. I probably have a pic saved on my old laptop, I'll try and find it and post it up for you.

Spacers are gay anyway.
I think I will look good but 275s in the front will look and handle better. The problem with sever staggered setups like that is the car will be more likely to under-steer then if the profiles were closer together. i ran 235s on the front with 275s and it didn't look bad but it did look small and I could feel the car want to under-steer and ran into that problem a lot during Autocross's. Cant deny saving some money but that's just been experiences.

And for sure not a mustang. Maybe a little civic with no power. But if you want to do it right and not have to worry about having a wheel or two come off while driving.... Get the rims!
