ok so im wondering if anyone knows what this rim/tire combo looks like.

18x10 deep dish black bullitt rims with 285/35-18 tires on rear
17x9 reg dish bullitt rims with 255/40-17 on front

i have looked on americanmuscle.com and there isnt an option for reg dish as an 18" rim. im worried whether the difference in rim size will be a good thing or bad thing. i definitely want a staggered look. i have a '97 black stang just tryin to make her mean. Any input would be helpful.

Personally I think they will look real small. I have 255-40-17's on the front and even with 315-35 -17 drag radials they look pretty small compared to the back.

If you want to go with a staggered look go with 18x8 up front and 18x9.5 or 18x10 in rear. Look at the Boss Motorsports 338.

what would the solution be for having a less deep dish in the front but still having the deep dish look goin in the back?... say 18x10 in the back. here is a pic of the style im goin for.

for the front with an 18x8 you want to go with a 245/45/18 and on the rear with a 18x9.5 go with a 275/35/18

18x9 front and 18x10 rear would be what i did. 18x8 fronts would look too damn small(to me). And when ordering from AM just order two DD for the rear and two non DD for the front. Call them to place the order and they'll hook you up. Thats how i did it.

Same here, I have 18x9's in the front with 245/45/18, and 18x10 in the rear with 275/35/18. I bought the car with these tires, i'll def step up to a wider tire on the rear when I get new tires, their a little narrowed on the rim.

I would have to agree with this statement for 18's. Definately the best combo.

For 17's, I went with 315/35's on the back, 275/40's on the front.

Would AM sell these size tires even though they arent listed on their website?
