Staggered sizes doesn't look good on F bodies. Leave that for the vettes. Stick with either 17's all around or 18's all around. Staggered widths is much better. Black wheels look smaller than they really are so you may want to consider 18's.

Not a big fan of black rims. But if you do go with them, they really need to chrome lip.

whichever you decide to go with, get the same diameter on all 4 corners.....like The Guz said, leave the staggered sizes for vettes.

personally, i prefer 17's....they're lighter than 18's of the same model, they usually don't cost as much, and tires for 17's are MUCH cheaper than for 18's

i have 17x9.5 on all 4 corners....see pics of my setup here
