Default How stupid would this look?

My car currently has pro-kit springs in front and stock springs in the back (went back to stock in the rear to get the slicks to fit). The tires are currently 275/40-17 front and 315/35-17 in back. Due to the spring difference the car looks pretty raked, but it's not awful and IMO it looks kinda cool because it looks agressive. I'm going to be putting my 18x10" AR Longboards on the SS and was thinking of getting the 305/45-18 Nitto 555R in the back. This tire is almost 3" taller than the current tire and would contribute significantly to the rake. I understand that the tire is for trucks, but with my 4.30 gears and 500+rwhp I could use the extra tire in the back. Question is, would it look absoloutely stupid beyond belief? Any opinions would be nice.

A little rake looks agressive and cool, but a lot can look kind of stupid...how much is the rake now? Some pics would help.

Yeah, i agree. Definatly a line between cool and mullet. That, and i think the Camaro looks better with a lil bit of rake to it, the Poncho Fbods just dont seem to look the same, imo
