Default Which do you think looks better?

I am getting ready to buy American Racing Rebels and cant decide on which would look better....

18's all the way around or 17s's in the front and 18's in the rear....the 17s dont have the huge lip, thats why Im straying towards them more.

My car is a Black WS6 BTW....

17s and 18s






OR

18s all the way around






Which do you think looks better?

I hated when I had 17s/18s. 18s all around is much better IMO.

Not even a contest. 18" all the way. The staggered setup looks like poo-poo in 4th gen f-bodies, IMO.

If i had to do it all over again, i would go with 18's. I have 17's now and they look great but i need a different set to race with. So i would rock out with the 18's.[IMG][/IMG]

IMO it looks better with the same size all the way around. Plus it's a pain in the *** to rotate tires with different sizes on there.

There is a reason the smaller front wheel looks right on a vette. The tire used has a smaller OD, and that all works because the Vette's front wheel opening is smaller.

On our cars, it doesn't look right. It will look like you don't have enough OD, or too much rubber depending on which way you do the front tires.
