what does having 18 in the back and 17 in the front do? as opposed to just 17 all? so that the back of the car sits slightly higher compared to the front??

it's gonna look like this....my black Zo6 motorports 17's and 18's
as opposed to this....my chrome 10 spoke SS rims...17's on all 4s!
hope that helps clear things up
*edit* for some reason my car looks like it's slammed in the pic with the 10 spokers???

As stated, the 17/18 combo just doesn't look right on an F-body...the Vettes can pull it off because of how their wheel wells are shaped. As for the ABS problem, I run a 275/35 up front, and a 295/35 in the back (a little more than a .5" difference I think), and no problems with ABS.

assuming the overall diameter stays the same.... all you have is a smaller looking tire on the back and a larger one on the front. Just looks strange if you ask me
