? on getting 17 front and 18 rear
#4
I thought putting 2 different size wheels on messes up abs? What is the thing people always worry about messing up abs on our cars then with wheels? I was thinking of getting ar rebels still instead of the billet 17inchers that just came out. If I go with the rebels I was going to get 17inchers up front, and 18x10 out back.

It is not the diameter of the rim, but the overall diameter of the entire tire. as long as you keep the tire diameters the same you will not have any problems.
If you put a 17x9.5 up front, you'd wanna put a 275-40-17 tire. The overall diameter of which would be 25.66". If you put a 18x9.5 in the back, youd want a 275-35-18 tire. That diameter would be about 25.58. You wont start upsetting ABS or TCS until you get to about a 1/2" difference.
Nevertheless, IMO, staggered diameter rims DO NOT belong on an f-body. The wheels wells werent designed for that like a vette.

If you had a 17x9 rim up front, a 275-40-17 tire would be appropriate.
If you had a 18x10 rim in back, a 295-35-18 would be the best choice of tire size. A 305-35-18 will be a little larger and thus more likely to upset ABS and TCS. I myself have 295-35-18s out back with stock diameter tires up front and I have no problems.
