Default wat you think?

do you have any rims in mind that would look good? i dont want to have a rim everyone else has ya know i want to be somewhat different. should i run 17x9.5's in the front and 18x10.5's out back to give it a different stance or should i go same size all the way around? does anyone know whats the widest tire i can put on the back without having to cut or bend anything?

Here are some of mine I just put on my Firehawk. I have seen them on an SS and they look awsome on then there called HP lighting 19X9.5 all the way around. Mainly I like the dish on them. Everything with a dish for F-bodys alway cost so damn much but no these

I got them from HP Racing. My girlfreind did some work for them so I got them for almost nothing.She worked for the designer of the wheels and he made these. I think there around $900.00 for the set without tires. Thats pretty good for a 19inch wheels with that dish.

From my understanding they only make up to a 9.5 inch wide. Thats plenty wide enough for my car there just roll around tires and wheels. Most of the time it will have prostars on it 15X3 in the front and 15X10.5 in the back
