Deep Dish wheel Question

[William741]

I was just wondering if you guys run deep dish wheels all around, or just on the back? I'm not sure which would look better. Im thinking about getting a set of either 17" Chrome bullits, or fr500's and am not sure if i should get the deep dish or not. What will look good? Deep dish all around, or in back? Thanks, Will

Get two deepdish for the rear and regular rims for the front. They look great.

Thats kinda what I figured, lol. I need to find a picture of a teal gt w/ fr500's on it. Do you happen to know how wide of a tire i can fit in front and rear? I really like the look of the fr500, just not sure if i'll like it on my car, lol, so hopefully I can find a pic and see what it looks like. Thanks, Will

Deep Dish= More metal= More weight to push.. I just installed some Saleens with 18x 10 in the back and I can really tell how much the extra weight is affecting my horsepower now. This is going from real Corbra R's 17x9 all around.

I personally do not like the deep dish wheels out back with the regular ones up front...just looks ugly to me.

It's your car though, just do what makes you happy. Good luck on finding the pics, I'm sure someone here can help you.

Mine are kinda deep dish up front, 17x9.5. I think it looks great. It does kill the turning radius, it rubs a bit in parking lots, and does hurt acceleration though. However it looks positively badass, so its worth it. Plus I run stock 16's at the track, so it doesnt bother me.

wow, jtkz, that is sweet looking. Do you have any pics from the side? Where did you get those wheels? The cheapest chrom bullits i have found that are deep dish are 194 a piece. Once again, awesome looking car. How wide are you running in the rear? Thanks, Will

My Rebels are not called "deep dish" but they have a wide lip, and are made for all around the car.

THose are awesome too. AHHHH!! So many wheels to choose from. The only requirements i have are that they are not more than 200 per wheel, and I want them in 17's. Those rebels are awesome!!

PM the Moderator VibrantRedGT

He can hook you up, but It will be a little more than that price...prolly around $250 per shipped.

Hmm, thats a little more than im looking to spend, but they do look sweet.

95cobramike. W/ a 10 or 10.5 inch wheel, will a 275 or 265 tire be too small? I really like those fr500's, they look awesome. The only thing is, my cars not lowered yet, and i don't have big brakes to show off, so thats a couple things holding me back from those wheels. THanks for all the replies and pics so far.

I also would like to know the size of tires on a 17x9 front and 17x10.5 I just found the rims I want. I would like to use my 245 45 17s up front and what ever for the rear.

 

[95CobraMike]

mine are 295's for 10.5 i think....i always thought they were 10.5 before i ordered them and when i got them, but after having them, i have seen them advertised at 10" not 10.5" but either way i have 295 35 18's out back
265 35 18's in the front

A better pic of the rear tires
