I'm kinda digging the raked look and am strongly considering keeping my stock wheels and tires on the front (17x8 w/ Nitto 555 245/45/17), but going to 18x10" rims with Nitto 555 285/35/18's out back.

Is anyone running this or a similar set up? (Surely, somebody must be) Any problems or concerns? Do you have any photographs? Thanks.

Am I the only one who tested this out?
245/45/17 front, 285/35/18 rear (i was waiting for a new front rim to come in the mail, due to damages)

How was the ride? Any performance problems? After seeing the Bullit on page 158 of the 2/06 Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, I am pretty hooked on the idea, but the tire sizes they used are different. They used Pirelli Corsa 255/40/17 on the fronts and 315/30/18 on the rears. Pirelli's are a bit pricey for me....I'm dong suspension upgrades too...so I'm going to keep my existing Nitto's on the fronts and just by new ones for the rears.
