Default high pad clearance vs. medium pad clearance

Does anyone have pictures of rt-s with a high pad clearance on the front and a medium pad clearance on the rears?

I'm looking at running a 17x8 on the front and an 18x10. They are going on a 98 s10 with ls1 calipers and z51 rotors on front and 96 impala rear disc.

That's what I'm running. High pad 18x10 and medium pad 18x11. I like the look of the high pad centers better but I like the lip of the wheel being bigger on the medium pad.
There's pictures in my build thread. None of the setup on the ground though. Not finished.

I heard Weld was going to start offering these all black. Did you get those done or did you buy them like that all black?
