Corvette Wheels 18F 19R Configurations
Trying to decide what kind of rims i will put on.
there are lots of corvette wheels with 18x8.5 in the front and 19 x 10 in the rear at ebays.
wondering if i have problems with the big rim in the rear on a 4thgen Firebird??
Also are there any problems with interference with ABS Signal because of different diameters in the rims????
who drives something like that and has experience....
what tiresizes?
thanks for our help

It won't be a problem if you put on tires that'll have the same overall diameter. The only problem with that is, you'll have 2 different tire side wall profiles. The front tire side wall profile will be significantly taller than the rear tire's to make up for that 1 inch wheel diameter difference. That looks kinda silly to me, but it's a very common practice on OEM and aftermarket applications.

19x10 rim rear 295/35 19
18x 8.5 rim front 255/45 18
that would be almost the same diameter. the sidewall in the front woiuld be 0.4 inch more what would look strange i agree. any other combinations in order for working abs on the fbody??? regarding corvette rims with 18 19 combo??
