Default I searched but can't find 16s on the front 17s on the back

Does anyone have a pic of an f-body with 16" rims on the front and 17s on the back?

why would someone ever do that? 17s and 18s looks retarded.


I still dont understand why people do do staggered wheels on f-bodies.

I don't have the 16 and 17's. I have 17 and 18's. I like the way it looks and get good compliments on the car just about every time I have it out.

The reason I would do it is because I found a really good deal on some 16s that are only 8" wide. I'd rather run a 235 tire up front than a 275 like I have on my 9.5" wide rims. Cheaper and lighter weight.

You have staggered wheels..

Staggered doesn't just mean a difference in diameter, it is also difference in width.

Unless you have 15x3.5s all the way around, I'm pretty sure those Pro Stars are staggered.

And to the original thread, don't put 16s on the front of your car man, if you want light, get front runners.

I dont want front runners. I want to keep the sports car look going on with the style rims I have but find cheaper lighter wheels for the front. I don't really want the drag race look. I like it, but I prefer the look its got already.
