Default C6 replicas. 18/17 or 18/18. Suggestions

I'm going to get these wheels and idk if I want to go 18 in the back 17 in the front or 18's all around. I have one picture of a car just like mine from a member on this site with the 18's. Anyone have the 18/17 combo??

18's all the way around. I don't care for the staggered look on F-Bodies...

18"s all around definitely. 17" rims look like **** with their 7 thousand inches of sidewall.

well, you can go 17 for a cheaper tire i mean you will def. get wider rear tire right? so you cant rotate them anyway id go 17 front and lower it a bit more from the front

WOW....I've been wanting to see a picture of the staggered look for awhile........now there's no way I'll do it. I didn't think it stood out so much.

18's all around for sure...........

To stagger the rims you're going to also have to stagger the tires or it'll look ridiculous. I mean, if you try to keep things proportional for ABS friendliness, you'll have an 18in rim with less tire wall in the back and a 17in rim with more tire wall in the front. You can see how this would look really funny to the eyes unless you did it right.

IMO,18s front and rear, and if you want a staggered look put taller tires on the rear.
