Cool Two Different Sized Tires???

I am looking into lowering my firehawk and giving it a nice stance, but what I am wondering is if any of you not only lowered your cars but went with larger tires in the rear and smaller in the front? Like maybe a couple inches in difference between front and rear?

If so, how does that affect lowering and anything else reguarding preformance, etc?

I want my car to be lowered but sometimes I see lowered f-bodies and the front almost looks higher than the rear of the car.

If you have any pictures or input please post.


Thanks,
Ryan

(ps. I apologize for posting this in the wrong place..)

I've got 18's in the back and 17's in the front and I think it looks great. Kinda flows with the body I think. I havn't lowered mine yet but it'll happen soon enough. I've seen some pics of what you're talkin about, I'll try to dig some of them up for you.

Alright, thanks.

I also went and posted this same thread in the wheels and tires forum too, the correct area.

So the moderators can just delete or lock this or w/e. If you find those pics you could post them there, or here. or w/e. lol
