Ok, so why not change the thread title to "17' or 18' Saleens, everyone else GTFO!"
If they are strictly street tires, can't you run something narrower in the front, like maybe 255s, if you're worried about clearance? Also, the overall diameter of the 18" tires shouldn't be bigger than the 17" tires.
I think the 18s look good. For those wheels, I'd go with 18s.
Silly question, Guy. 18's!
Have not read all the replys, don't wanna hurt feelings....but 17" Saleen wheels are the ugliest wheel ever. They did not design that wheel in a 17 to look good, the spokes are too wide, too short, it's terrible.
18" Saleens on foxes are BADASS.
The 17's i have seen are completely scaled down, not like they just shrunk parts of it. Im gonna compare them and see which i like better, but at this moment probably 18's the 17's are 200 a set more
They are wayyyy scaled down, yes.
The 17's are more??? Damn! You'd think they'd be less. Well, this is a no-brainer then. 17's look like $hit and they're more expensive??? WTF?
NT05's are also $175 cheaper per set with the 17's over the 18's
Yeah, 18" tires are a joke, but he 17's are still ugly. LOL. As much as we drive our cars....what the hell...The tires will last for years.
I had the same pair of front tires on the front of my 96 Cobra for the entire 7 years I had it. My buddy kept them on it for the whole first year he had it, took them off and gave them back to me. I'm using them on ModFox!!!
Rears....well, that depends how you drive.
I say 18x9's. Im running the saleen wheels at 18x9 at all 4 and my fenders are punched out 1"3/4 all around...and I like how they ended up. however, im running the 24mm offset @ all 4"s and I was happy with the fit without any spacers. I think you"ll like the look shoalin....the only thing I don't like about the 18's is the stupid price jump in rubber 17's vs 18's.....either way, you have a good lookin car and I think either size will look great
